Adding Harmony Or Arpeggio - Yamaha PSR-A350 Owner's Manual

Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices

Adding Harmony or Arpeggio

You can add harmony or arpeggio notes to the Main
Voice.
By specifying the Harmony Type, you can apply har-
mony parts, such as duet or trio, or add tremolo or
echo effects to the played sound of the Main Voice or
the Dual Voice. Also, when the Arpeggio Type is
selected, arpeggios (broken chords) are automati-
cally played back when you simply play the appropri-
ate notes on the keyboard. For example, you could
play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and fifth—
and the Arpeggio function will automatically create a
variety of interesting phrases. This feature can be
used creatively in music production as well as perfor-
mance.
