Setting Up Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio - Yamaha genos Owner's Manual

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
effects 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.
