I'd like to be able to do the old trick of playing a regular rock 
song, then breaking it down (vocals remain). The breakdown would have 
an An1X arpeggio as it's foundation to give a new flavor. Then build 
the song back up around the arpeggio. We have a lot of tempo 
variation in our band, so I wouldn't know exactly what the tempo of 
the middle zection will be until we get there. My Roland synth 
supports tap-tempo. I'll try using a MIDI out from that and see if I 
can control the AN1X musically with it.

Thank you,

Jerry
