One of the coolest features in XL-1 is its ability to run multiple arpeggiators
at the same time. The interactions of multiple note sequences can be
complex and fascinating. XL-1 lets you run up to sixteen arpeggiator
patterns at once! Even two or three patterns at once can create very
complex sequences and dynamic landscapes of sound.

Here's one way to use this ultra-powerful feature. There is one arpeggiator
for each MIDI channel. In order to arpeggiate on multiple channels, you
need a controller that can output multiple MIDI channels at once.
Set up your MIDI keyboard so that it outputs the entire keyboard on
1.
MIDI channels 1 and 2. This procedure varies with the type of keyboard
you own. Refer to the owner's manual that came with your keyboard
for instructions.
Put XL-1 into Multi mode. This is located in the Master menu, MIDI
2.
Mode page.
On the main screen, turn the arpeggiator "on" for MIDI channels 1 and
3.
2. (We're only using two channels for now to keep it simple.) Select a
different preset for each MIDI channel while you're at it.
