The two arps are very different.  While Korg only has two arps, they are
12-note polyphonic, meaning you can program up to 12 notes at a time.  E-mu
arps are melodic (monophonic) patterns, but you can play chords with them
(each note playing its monophonic pattern).  You can play up to 32
arpeggiated notes on each of the 32 channels (of course, you'd run out of
polyphony by then!).
