What's auto arpeggio all about?
This function involves detecting the notes of the keys
depressed on the lower keyboard and sounding the
notes automatically in succession from the lowest to
the highest in accordance with the auto rhythm.
There are 7 different types of auto arpeggio note-
sounding patterns. (Refer to table on next page.)
The BLOCK VARIATION button at the bottom right
superimposes the arpeggio effect with 3-note chords
automatically even with note-sounding patterns in the
above table. (BLOCK VARIATION quarter notes do
not change.)

is set to ON,

keyboard
are
released.
How to combine the auto arpeggio and auto
bass/chord functions
The auto arpeggio and auto bass/chord functions can
be used simultaneously.
(1) SINGLE FINGER CHORD mode'
As soon as a single note is sounded with a lower
keyboard key, the chord is detected, and in line
with this detected chord, the arpeggio effect is
sounded automatically in succession.
If a pedal
keyboard
key is not depressed, the
arpeggio effect is sounded as a major chord, The
relationship
between
the pedal keyboard
keys
and the arpeggio effect is outlined below.
€ No pedal keyboard
keys are depressed:
Major
chord
* White pedal keyboard key is depressed: Seventh
chord
€ Black pedal keyboard
key is depressed: Minor
chord
* White
and
black
pedal
keyboard
keys
are
depressed simultaneously: Minor seventh chord
(2) FINGERED CHORD mode
As soon as the chords are struck on the lower
keyboard, the arpeggio effect is sounded auto-
matically
in succession with the chords on the
keys.
(3) CUSTOM A-B-C mode
Operation is the same as that for the finger chord
mode but the sound of the pedal keyboard must
be played manually.
The Auto-Arpeggio Changes with the Rhythm
Patterns have been provided that enable the auto-
arpeggio to adopt 3/4, 12/8 and 4/4 rhythms. If more
than one rhythm has been selected, the 3/4 pattern
takes precedence, followed by 12/8 and 4/4 time in
that order.
