Files with the extension .X0G are XS “all arpeggio” type. If you have such a file, it can certainly be loaded. See page 280 of the XS Owner’s Manual.

Thanks a lot for your reply. So if I want to save just my arpeggios (and maybe share) how do a do that? Or is that even possible?

Tompa.  5pinDIN already gave you the answer.  Save your arps as; filename.X0G and your arps will be saved.  Then you could post your xxxxxxx.XOG file here to share your arps with the forum if you’d like

You’re welcome. Yes, you can save Type “all arpeggio” files, as per page 278 of the Owner’s Manual.

As far as sharing is concerned…
SonicOne is correct - if you create your own arps and wish to share them, that’s certainly possible. .X0G files can be zipped and attached to Motifator posts. However, please don’t “share” copies of arps (or Voices, etc.) from commercial sources.

Thanks all! Stupid of me- I should have checked the manual first instead of taking up your time. But you are most kind and now I know the procedure. I mainly make drum arpeggios that I actually miss (!) in the XS, although there are so many and so good.  It is drum patterns for specific songs or some real simple, straight ones that I couldn´t find.
I might share them when I´ve done a dozen or two.
One last (?) question: Is there a way to alter the onboard arpeggios like changing an indivdual drum stroke?

The only way (on MOX) I’ve found to do that is to Record the Arpeggio to a Song or Pattern, make changes, overdub, whatever, then turn the measures into a User Arp (via the JOB menu) and assign them back into your Performance.

Thanks Muscarella! That is also my conclusion. And it works. Thanks all for your kind assistance!
