This is interesting. As a test I set up the same arp pattern on 3 channels, started the same arp (different notes) from my usb/midi keyboard, and didn't seem to have the problem you describe. However, I was using a slider on the keyboard that corresponds to MidiA. So when I tried MidiA in Quick Edit mode, sure enough it affected all instances of the preset, not just the one on the Basic Channel (i.e., the channel current on the display). The next test was to set up Knob 1/MidiA in Program Mode to simulate my usn/midi keyboard slider. They functioned the same: only the patch on that channel was affected. Now that I think about it, I'd say that's part of the design of Quick Edit mode (not a bug): the knobs edit the preset itself, not the channel settings. This makes sense. That's why the asterisk appears after the name when you tweak the preset using the quick edit knobs--to tell us that the preset has been changed and to give us an opportunity to save it if we want. Using the knobs in Program Mode would seem to be more suited for performance tweaking of presets either on specific channels or the Basic Channel. Hope this helps.
