Arpeggiator Pattern
Xtreme Lead lets you create and edit your own arpeggiator patterns. Using
the Edit User Pattern menu, you can create up to 100 user patterns and each
pattern can be up to 32 steps in length.
When you edit a pattern, you are writing directly into memory—no Save
command is required. This is different from the Edit menu where you must
Save a preset before it will be overwritten. If you want to modify an existing
pattern and keep the original, you must first COPY the pattern you want to
edit to another location using the function in the Copy menu (See
page 195). Refer to the instructions below and the following parameter
descriptions to create your own patterns.
