all this proves is that a synth "riff" is harder to define than a guitar riff. you should do a thread for guitar "arpeggios" next.

and the replacement of Just can't get enough with Enjoy the silence.

You mean, with a guitar riff?

I mean at that part at the beginning. I think I need a definition of just what constitutes a riff.

I would say it needs to be in the medium to higher registers at least. A bass lick is a bass lick. And chords are chords.
