Setup
Instant Gratification
1. Set up your MIDI keyboard so that it outputs the entire keyboard range
on MIDI channels 1, 2, and 3. This procedure varies with the type of
keyboard you own.
2. Put Xtreme Lead into Multi mode. This is located on the MIDI Mode
page in the Master menu.
3. From the main screen, turn the arpeggiator “on” for MIDI channels 1
and 2. (We’re only using two for now to keep it simple.) Select a
different preset for each MIDI channel while you’re at it.
4. Start playing. You should be hearing two arpeggiators playing at once.
5. Change presets on one or both of the MIDI channels you are using
(1 & 2). Since each factory preset has differently programmed arpeg-
giator settings, changing the preset not only changes the sound, but the
arpeggiator as well.

Don’t forget that you
can adjust the volume and pan
position for each channel.
Sometimes a simple volume
change will bring out hidden
rhythms and patterns.
6. Press the Control Select button on the front panel so that the “Arp/
Beats” LED is illuminated. Adjust the front panel control knobs.
Remember that the knobs are controlling the arpeggiator on the
channel displayed in the main screen.
7. Try changing one of the channel’s arpeggiator setting to “M” instead of
“on.” Now press the Arpeggiator menu button on the front panel and
adjust the arpeggiator parameters in real-time.
8. From the Master Arpeggiator menu, set the Mode to “Pattern” then
explore the different patterns. There are 200 patterns available!
You’re starting to get the picture of how versatile and easy to use this
machine really is.
