Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices
PSR-E353 Owner’s Manual 19
You can add harmony or arpeggio notes to the Main
Voice.
By specifying the Harmony Type, you can apply har-
mony parts, such as duet or trio, or add tremolo or
echo effects to the played sound of the Main Voice or
the Dual Voice. Also, when the Arpeggio Type is
selected, arpeggios (broken chords) are automati-
cally played back when you simply play the appropri-
ate notes on the keyboard. For example, you could
play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and fifth—
and the Arpeggio function will automatically create a
variety of interesting phrases. This feature can be
used creatively in music production as well as perfor-
mance.
1
Press the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] but-
ton to turn on the Harmony or Arpeggio
function.
When the Harmony or the Arpeggio is turned on,
the most suitable one will be selected for the cur-
rent Main Voice.
If you want to select a specific type, select it by
the operation steps 2 and 3 below.

Hold down the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO]

“Harm/Arp” (Functions 028; page 41)
appears on the display.
After “Harm/Arp” is shown for a few seconds, the
current type appears.

Use the number buttons [0]–[9], [+], [-]
buttons to select the desired type.
When you want to specify a Harmony Type, refer
to the Harmony Type list on page 67; to specify
an Arpeggio Type, refer to the Arpeggio Type list
on page 67.
4
Press a note or notes on the keyboard to
trigger the Harmony or Arpeggio.
When a Harmony Type is selected, a harmony
part (for example, duet or trio) or an effect (for
example, tremolo or echo) can be added to the
played sound of the Main Voice.
Also, when an Arpeggio Type is selected, arpeg-
gios (broken chords) are automatically played
back when you simply play the appropriate notes
on the keyboard. The particular arpeggio phrase
differs depending on the number of pressed notes
and the area of the keyboard.

To turn the Harmony or Arpeggio off,
press the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] but-
ton again.
Adding Harmony or Arpeggio
