A Tutorial:

Basic process:  (1) deconstruct  (2)  reconstruct

Variation of process:
(1) Isolate desied effect
(2) Tweak it in lotsa combinations to understand it
(3) Create your own reconstituted preset

Concrete Steps to Teach Yourself How to Do It
(note: I used arp:A Trip mono on XLead ROM in audition mode)

1.  Set Instruments for L2, L3, L4 to none
2.  Change L1 Instrument to nse:White Noise
    [or another one just to hear what's going on]
3.  Change riff to Key-C3
4.  Change L1 LFO2 Rate [this should be an aha moment]
5.  Find Patchcord where LFO2+/- --> Filter Freq [ditto]
6.  TRY changing L1 Filter Q value
7.  TRY changing Filter Type [e.g., try BlissBatz]
8.  TRY different Instruments [e.g., try scr: instruments]
9.  TRY different arps [e.g, try SPUN]
10. When you have a layer you like, copy it->L2,L3,L4 and make changes
11. Try different layers with different sweeps
12. Try different instruments

Have fun.
Save new presets you like along the way.
 
Hope this helps.

PS:  Thanks for asking the question.  I came up with some neat ideas 
for presets.  I like the beats potential of sweep/phased kits.

It is beter to teach someone HOW to do something than to simply tell 
him or her what to do.
