I personally have not heard it.
I HAVE used an XS pretty extensively even to the point of TRYING to get use it as an arranger.
It did not really come close. I mean, some of the arps are cool for about 16 bars, but try running even four different ones over a 5 min jazz tune, and they soon get tiresome. No half-fills, no variation fills, even the arps within a category are very similar.
And, live, I found the only way that really worked without too much forethought was having the variation start immediately on the button press.
Having to think a bar ahead was a pain.
LOL, I can tell you you really need to have good button pushing timing!!! I had some funny segues at times 
DennisHi Miden,
I just want to add because maybe you missed this feature when you used the XS:
firstly to clarify - the XS had about 6000 arpeggio patterns already out of the box. the XF has over 7000.
The arps are all categorized and there are already pre set arps for 8 beat, rock, trance, jazz, latin for all types of instruments (drum arps, bass arps, pad, guitar strums ETC ETC)
ANY sequence that you make in the song or pattern mode CAN be converted to an arp so you can call it up in your performance and play it in a live situation with CHORD RECOGNITION (something the ROLAND Fantom doesn't have and I don't know about the Korg M3)
You can also import ANY midi file into the keyboard's sequencer and convert that to an arp using the "put track to arpeggio" function as well. Its VERY easy.
The beauty is that when you use an arpeggio in the performance mode, you can assign it to respond to chord recognition or not.
Please dont take me wrong i am not trying to cut you down or be defensive, but I want to clarify this to any people who are genuinely interested or curious in case they are mislead.
Nick
