Quick Start
Playing arpeggios (Phrase/Arpeggio)
An arpeggio is a “broken chord” where each note is played separately. The
Phrase/
Arpeggio
function lets you produce an arpeggio simply by holding down a chord,
and is also a convenient way to input a performance into an external sequencer.
Since the RS-50 provides arpeggio
templates
that are suitable for the various sounds
you select, you can produce appropriate arpeggios immediately.
You can also select
Phrase Template
which allows you to play arpeggio using only
one key, without pressing a chord (p. 62).
