Could you explain? I think I'm missing your suggestion.

On the first point, it is true that if you want "regular" arps, then you
need to use something other than pattern mode.
As to the second, I agree if you are programming from the front panel.
Editing the arps on my XL-1 with SoundDiver works OK, but it is still work.
According to the SD developers, E-mu has not given them the information
needed to create a proper Command Station editor, which is a damn shame.
