Arpeggio Block

This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a note or notes on
the external MIDI keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a
wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing.

Categories named "GtMG" and "BaMG" include Arpeggio types
appropriate for using with a Mega Voice.
Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios
Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality
and/or level of a Voice change according to how strongly or softly
you play the keyboard. This makes these Voices respond
naturally. However Mega Voices have a very complex structure
with many different layers, and are not suitable for playing
manually. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be played
by Mega Voice arpeggios to produce incredibly realistic results.
You should always use Mega Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios
(included in "GtMG" and "BaMG" category). For information
about appropriate Arpeggio type for each Mega Voice, refer to
the Voice Type column of the Arpeggio Type List, separate online
documentation.
