How to play a cord as a broken cord

How to play the chord as a broken cord ?

This depends on the instrument you’re using. In general there are three ways to get broken chords.

  1. Use a second melody voice and write the arpeggiated pattern yourself.
  2. Use a harmony instrument patch which breaks the chord. Currently there aren’t that many options but here are some suggestions:
  • Studio Piano → Alberti Bass
  • Percussive Pads → Club Arp
  • Percussive Pads → Dreamscape Arp
  • All Guitars except the Rock Guitar have Arpeggio and Picked patches
  1. All bass instruments have a patch called “Electric Flow” which also arpeggiates the Chords.

Please let me know if this helped
