Adding Harmony Or Arpeggio - Yamaha EZ-300 Owner's Manual

Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices

Adding Harmony or Arpeggio

You can add harmony or arpeggio notes to the Voice
played on the keyboard.
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.
Also, when the Arpeggio Type is selected, arpeggios
(broken chords) are automatically played back when
you simply play the appropriate notes on the key-
board. 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 interest-
ing phrases.
