XK-6 lets you create and edit your own arpeggiator patterns. Using the Edit
User Pattern menu, you can create up to 100 user patterns and each pattern
can be up to 32 steps in length.
When you edit a pattern, you are writing directly into memory—no Save
command is required (however, you must exit the Arp module). This is
different from the Edit menu where you must Save a preset before it will be
overwritten. If you want to modify an existing pattern and keep the
original, you must first COPY the pattern you want to edit to another
location using the function in the Save/Copy menu (See page 191). Refer to
the instructions below and the following parameter descriptions to create
your own patterns.
