[sdiy] Hardware Arpeggiator

[Mark Smith]

Hi Tim,

There are several random patterns in the mk2 version.

A random order which does it's best to be random and swap notes around - as long as you press more than one key !

and another which does the same but also randomly ( ish ) chooses to omit notes.

Feature creep is what is killing the darn thing though - it's taken 3 years to get to here, each bug eventually becoming a feature.
