Arpeggiator

I have just recently started to realize the potential of an apreggiator (I think) in regard to musical production.  I am starting to educate myself and have watched Robyn's short clip, read Scott's overview in X1 Power and read the reference manual.   That has given me a basic understanding and now I need to play with some of the pre-sets.  I got to researching this when looking at some of the arpeggiator features on the Roland Gi, Yamaha MO6 and Korg M50. and saw and heard some of the demonstrations of this feature.  Here are my questions if anyone can give me guidance to resources to help me dive in a little deeper.
 
1. Is there a place to get pre-sets beyond what comes with X1?
2. It appears that you could create an arpeggiation that would allow you to play the root note of a chord for say a bass instrument, allow it to arpeggiate between the 1, 3, 5 chords and create a riff and then record that part for creating music.
3. Arpeggiation seems to be the best way to get a better strumming sound out of a guitar patch (without actually playing it on a guitar of course).  Is that true?
4. I know that this feature is used alot in electronic, hip hop and other styles of music but does it have a place in more acoustic pop, country, orchestra and folk  based music?
5. Are there any good resources on the web that show these features in use?
 
Just trying to tap the knowledge of the group about this one particular feature of Sonar.  Learning Sonar seems like learning 50 new software program modules at once sometimes :)
 
Any resources for learning, experimenting, or examples of audio , You Tube or otherwise would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,

I don't recall if these came with X1 - Tom Brockway's Arp Presets are fantastic -

Very cool, Brando - I hadn't seen those before.  I hunted around and found the Arpeggiator folder, moved Tom's in - looking forward to hearing them.  Thanks.

Thanks Brando!!
Is it as simple as just adding these presets into the Arpeggiator folder?

Hey, Mesh - I moved Tom Brockway's folder into the Sonar Arp folder - and just two seconds ago I turned on an Arp to take a look--Sure enough, they're all there.  Wow - certainly looks more impressive than the two little folders that came with Sonar.  Go get 'em!

Thanks everyone! This will give me more examples to look at and study as I learn about this.

Bug! rendering ARP patterns "bounce" to MIDI track cause the render MIDI clip countless of double notes... up to 9 duplate MIDI data on same key...
