50 PSR-A5000 Owner’s Manual
You can apply the Keyboard Harmony or Arpeggio features to enhance or change the
sound of the right-hand parts (RIGHT 1–3). Keyboard Harmony applies performance
effects such as harmony (duet, trio, etc.), echo, tremolo and trill to the notes played in the
right-hand section. The Arpeggio function lets you play arpeggios (broken chords) by sim-
ply pressing the notes of the chord. For example, you could play the notes C, E and G to
trigger interesting and rhythmically dynamic phrases. This feature can be used for music
production as well as live performance.
