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 the Quick Sequencer. Since
the RS-70 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. 72).
