Yeah, but the arpeggiation is not a built-in feature of the SID but
just plain software. It's a pity that modern synths don't offer such an
easy "chord breaker" for monophonic tracks.

What I also liked quite much is the fact that you can have different
waves for gate on and gate off. Not to mention, that selecting multiple
waveforms for a single oszillator results in somewhat strange new
waveforms (which IIRC are even revision-dependent).
