I'm upgrading to the XL model, what can I expect?

It will be easier than you think. I've heard that you should be able to load them right up without problem. (I didn't convert any myself switching models, since I made new ones). The XL is 4 part multitimbral but I think it loads all the existing parts just into the first section and behave as you are used to.

 

Oh, if you are used to staying in the TRACK MUTE screen and switching SEQ from there, be prepared to have to jump to another screen (NEXT SEQ) or back to the main screen to do so. The XL lost the ability to change sequences from the TRACK MUTE screen. I'm counting on it coming back in a future update. It not that bad and goes quickly.
