Using the Arpeggio feature
The versatile Arpeggio feature allows you to automatically play various rhythms and phrases by simply pressing a key or
playing a chord. The MO contains a remarkably wide variety of Arpeggios—a total of 1,787—from conventional, popular
phrases to the latest cutting-edge rhythm patterns. In addition, you can assign your favorite Arpeggios to the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons and switch between Arpeggio phrases instantly. This powerful function is an unending source of inspiration and will
help you create various riffs, phrases and songs quickly and easily.
Since the preset Voices and Performances already have their own Arpeggio types pre-assigned, all you need to do is select
the desired Voice and turn on the Arpeggio function.

Different Arpeggio types cannot be played back for each Part in the Performance, Song, or Pattern mode.
Selecting some programs (Voices, Performances, Songs,
Patterns) automatically turns this lamp on.
The particular rhythm pattern or phrase that plays depends
on the actual notes or chords you play, as well as on the
selected Arpeggio type. For details, see page 145 in the
Basic Structure section.
