Using The Arpeggio Function - Yamaha montage6 Owner's Manual

Quick Guide — Playing the Keyboard

Using the Arpeggio function

This function lets you trigger rhythm patterns, riffs and
phrases using the current Part by simply playing notes on
the keyboard.
It not only provides inspiration and full rhythmic passages in
your live performances, but it gives you fully formed
instrumental backing parts of various music genres for ease
in creating songs.
You can assign the desired eight Arpeggio Types to each
Part and play back the Arpeggios of up to eight Parts
simultaneously.
You can also set the Arpeggio playback method, Note
range, Velocity range and Play Effects to create your own
original grooves.
NOTE
For details about Arpeggio, see the Reference Manual PDF
