Arpeggio

In chip music, an arpeggio is an effect that rapidly alternates a tone generator's period among two to four pitches to create a warbly approximation of a chord. The effect was highly popular on Commodore 64, and during the NES's commercial era, NES games by European developers wee more likely to use arpeggios than games by Japanese developers.
