Arps aren't just for techno music.  They can make very evolving pads,
interesting effects, and all sorts of other cool stuff.

Don't know about the RM1X, but the XL-7 was specifically designed to
minimize the need to EVER come out of record or press stop.  You can
even save while recording if you want.

Think TR-808 style edit.  16 buttons corresponding to 16 16th notes.

Huh?  With the XL-7 you have access to EVERY pattern in the box,
ququeueablen rerealtimeith NO hiccup, even with program changes, arps,
FX, etc.  I've played with the Yamaha sequencers (RM1X, Motif, RS7000)
and they all hiccup badly in my opinion, even between the 16 "armed"
patterns.
