Playing Arpeggios
(Arpeggiator)
The Arpeggiator provides for the play of the various notes in chords.
With the Arpeggiator, you can play arpeggios that use the
component notes of a chord, just by pressing the chord. In addition
to normal arpeggios, you can also accurately simulate rhythm guitar
or strumming techniques depending on the Arpeggiator settings.
The Arpeggiator can in fact be used as a handy automatic arranger.
