Description: Arpeggiation is a MIDI arpeggiator. It allows you to easily produce rhythmic note patterns according to keys you hold down. Currently it will arpeggiate "upwards" over one to four octaves. It can produce quarter notes to thirty-second notes, and the tempo is adjustable anywhere from 50 to 200 BPM. Future plans include user-definable arpeggiation patterns, external synchronisation (both as a master and a slave), and CV control of synths via the GeekPort.
