You cannot perform in the normal manner in the range set for arpeggio performances, but you can specify the range used for the arpeggios, which even allows you, for example, to split the keyboard in Single mode (p. 41) and play arpeggios as accompaniment in the left side, and the melody in the right.

Specify the leftmost and rightmost keys in the range to be used for arpeggios.
