I have seen a lot of these when on my last visit at MAM last week,
so I think they are readily available.
I have not tested them personally (because I have a great Arpeggiator
in the OB-8 and a second one in the Juno-6), but I know it has *much*
more features than "variations of up and down".
BTW, most of it was programmed by Rudi Linhardt of "LAMM"
Lintronics fame (Memorymoog ...).
