I have sold it long ago. It's *not* a true arpeggiator, i.e. it does not
arpeggiate notes which you play in real time. What it does is more
like a "sequencer-arpeggiator": You store a number of chords (as
in a polyphonic sequencer) and an arpeggiator pattern, and you
will get a monophonic (better: "serial") output of Midi notes for
the arpeggiated chords. Strange device.
