Yes, I tend to use mine as a preset riff generator. Really not that much different than how I use my Yamaha PSR-SX600 arranger keyboard. Generate riffs, record and save what I like, add or replace bits of the riffs with other sound sources, like other synths.
I have the first world problem of having so many synths that developing god level patching skills on all of them would be impossible in my lifetime. So I allocate my time and efforts accordingly.
