KILLER arpreggios -- how?

[pablo744]

this question is for all the superb programmers out there. specifically, how do you achieve the arpeggio patterns in your demos -- are they all custom programmed via step sequencing? do you input the individual notes, then speed up the bpm to 130-140?

the best examples i can think of would be schleis' demos for his soundsets on the vengeance website. they are excellent arps, with filter sweeps, etc.

does it depend on playing technique with virus preset arps, or is it all purely customized programming. the melody notes can be clearly heard, with accent notes underneath of them. outstanding.

i welcome your advice and expertise. THANK YOU!

cheers.
