I think Marco makes a good point about the Z1 arpeggiator.

I have tried various keyboards with arpeggiators and auto
accompaniments (rhythm and bass), but they do not send these via
MIDI. You play a straight chord and it sends out a straight chord.

I was really excited when I first discovered that the Z1 can send an
arpeggiated version of any chord you play to any other instrument and
to a sequencer. This can include preset bass and rhythm patterns and
any new ones you write.
