They can be used in many ways. 1) Complex note sequences like those for a harp, 2) to help complicate a composition, for example playing 1 note can result in a chord of notes played in sequence. 3) Some arpeggio's are designed for playing chords and the results are the notes played in sequence, across an optional amount of octaves, with possible automatic note additions usually in the same key. Most modern keyboards includes thousands of arpeggios, played automatically to the rhythm, and many extrapolate or complicate the composition and the sequence of notes can be manipulated by how a chord is played either simultaneous or via the sequence in how the chord is played.
To see how indie and hobby composers use arpeggios in actual productions, see the nutcracker electronica at http://www.pumpyouup.com within the Winter2011/Christmas collection.
