A:
"All right here on campus" can mean a couple of different things. The first example could be an expression to show diesbelief. it is hard to explain but it is basically saying that something bad/really good happened somewhere and the speaker is trying express that they can't believe that it had happened there. An example could be, "Last week, 4 murders happened in Chicago. And they were all (the speaker stresses this part) right here(every murder happened here) on campus!" Or another example could be, "Today a big box of treasure was found in Pennsylvania and it is all right here (all of the treasure is located here) on campus!" And the other meaning of "all right here" could mean fine, okay, calm, etc. Some examples could be, "I moved to Texas last week and it is all right here(the speaker is saying that he likes it in Texas)".
Q:
Please show me example sentences with think of right.
A:
Ah, I understand now :) So "Think of right" isn't a phrase that means anything. it's actually part of two separate phrases, "think of" and "right here."
Think of=imagine, think, come up with, etc.
Right here= Here. "Right" is added for emphasis, as in something is "right here in front of you."
For example,
"Tell me as many as you can think of" and
"Your keys are right here."
So your friend could have said "all of the electric piano [features] that you could think of are here in this piano," or "all of the electric piano [features] that you could imagine are right here in this piano," and it would have meant basically the same thing.

What kind of situation does this phrase use?
A:
This phrase can be used, but maybe not in the way you meant. If you are just trying to say that someone is correct, then it would be "You're absolutely right." However, "In the right" is an English phrase that is used to say "I am on your side."
For example, imagine two of your friends were arguing. One comes up to you and explains their side of the argument and you think that they are correct or justified. That is when you could say: "You're absolutely in the right", but if you just want to say that someone is correct, you would say "You're absolutely right."
