Arpeggiator: use step buttons to modify rhythmic pattern

[amaury]

Hi,

This is found for example on the Blofeld, or the SL MK3 from Novation: we can edit our own rhythm for the Arp, this is very interesting musically, especally on the Keystep Pro which has 3 Arpeggiators!

I imagine that when Arp mode is ON for a track, the 16 steps could be used for that:
- Step ON/OFF
- Timing, Gate, Velocity, Random for individual steps

How great that would be!

Kind regards,
Amaury

Yes! I was very surprised they Keystep doesn't do this already, with all those step buttons when you go into arp mode! This behavior is ubiquitous enough that it is the norm for arpeggiators, though most (mini nova, Microkorg) are 8 step patterns, having the full 64 would be truly awesome, even just 16 would be great...

if memory is an issue the existing pattern for the sequencer could double (if enabled) as the rhythmic setting for the arpeggiator...

This sounds like a really neat idea!  I am all for furthering the functionality and getting all we can from our kit.  Being able to have more variation and musicality, is always a welcome thing.
