Echo Category (Echo, Tremolo, Trill)
The Echo, Tremolo or Trill effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand
section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the
[ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when
you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (or the last two
notes, if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.
3 Play the keyboard.
The effect selected in step 2 is applied to the right-hand melody.
To turn off the effect, turn the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button off.
The Arpeggio function lets you play arpeggios (broken chords) by simply pressing the notes of the chord. For
