Arpeggio Block
This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases by simply pressing a note or notes
on the keyboard. Yamaha’s Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords
you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and
performing.
