Sorry, but this is useless. Think about it for a minute... ALL arps play from the 'one'. So, if you use the 'immediate' mode, let's say you ask for the fill on the 'two'. Sure, it plays immediately (in fact, it ignores the clock altogether, so your timing has to be impeccable), but it STARTS on the 'one'. You now have a five beat fill. Good for Brubeck, but that's about all.

On an arranger, you call for the fill on the 'two', it starts on the 'two'.

Oh yes, I suppose you say you can then press the next loop on the 'one' (again you have to be split second accurate - 'immediate' does NOT mean 'to the nearest beat'), but that won't change that your fill will have been shifted over a beat or two.

The MoXS system needs two things badly. The ability to have fill arps start on the beat you call for them, not always on the 'one', and the ability to either continue onto another destination (one of the main arps) without you pressing it, or to automatically trigger when you call for another arp from the arp you are playing. In other words, arranger-like operation. Hit a new Variation, a fill plays (if Autofill is on) and then plays the new Variation, or press for a fill, and it automatically go back to the Variation you started (if you don't select a new Variation.

Arps that go to a preset destination arps can be also used for Intros, and arps that automatically stop can be used for Endings.

The MoXS can't do any of these.
