Arpeggiator/Beats
Menu
Xtreme Lead’s SuperBEATS mode allows you to trigger, latch and unlatch
synced loops and grooves from separate keys on your keyboard. Select a
SuperBEATS Riff and then choose any one of Xtreme’s 1024 presets. Now by
playing 24 assignable keyboard keys, you can bring specific
Parts
in and
out. This is
Macro-Music!
XL-1 can also run up to 16 simultaneously synced arpeggiators, each with a
different preset sound. The arpeggiators can either play one of 7 arpeggios
or can be set to play a pattern, which is a stored sequence of notes.
Combined with SuperBEATS, the number of musical permutations is
staggering!
