Setting up Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio
You can apply the Keyboard Harmony or Arpeggio features to enhance or change the sound
of the Right-hand parts (RIGHT 1–3). Keyboard Harmony applies performance eects such as
harmony (duet, trio, etc.), echo, tremolo and trill to the notes played in the Right-hand section.
The Arpeggio function lets you play arpeggios (broken chords) by simply pressing the notes
of the chord. For example, you could play the notes C, E and G to trigger interesting and
rhythmically dynamic phrases. This feature can be used for music production as well as live
performance.
