Using The Convenient Functions In Performances; Creating Arpeggios From The Chords You Play (Arpeggio On/Off) - Roland RS-5 Owner's Manual

Using the Convenient Functions in Performances

This section explains how to utilize the different functions that are often
used in performances.
Creating Arpeggios from the Chords
You Play (ARPEGGIO ON/OFF)
Just by playing a chord, you can play an arpeggio (a chord that is played one
note at a time) using the notes making up that chord.
You can play arpeggios in all key ranges when Key Mode is set to Single or
Dual.
When Key Mode is set to Split, you can play arpeggios in the Lower range.
