Arpeggiator

This function automatically plays notes and chords played on the
keyboard as arpeggios. In addition to driving the tone generator
block, arpeggio data can be sent to the sequencer block and
recorded as sequence data to a phrase or song, or transmitted to
external equipment via the MIDI OUT connectors.
Arpeggios are also sometimes known as "broken chords", and are
used frequently in modern dance and techno styles. To play auto-
mated arpeggios press the [ARPEGGIO ON] button so that its
indicator lights and play a chord on the keyboard.

put of the tone generator block. Three effect stages are provided

be applied to each track.
