The xl-7 can only lays out the 16 tracks at once - the rm1x also lets you select from a bank of 16 patterns at once. 

If you use the 'trigger patterns' command on the xl-7, but this only lets you access one set of sixteen, instead of all of them. And there's no 'breakbeat' switching.

  How so? Aside from the MIDI fx like harmonizing and velocity offset, doesn't 
  the XL do all the same things? Not arguing, curious. The interface just seems 
  more immediate to me on the XL, but that's obviously subjective. Or are you 
  talking about the LCD?
