This is true.  Why not a dedicated MIDI arp. solution then.  The circuit 
would be not much more than a single PIC + opto-isolator.  It would have 
MIDI in and MIDI out and provide arpeggiation in the middle.  Could also 
be possible to add a basic UI (e.g. some toggle switches) using the PIC 
inputs, or just have all parameters set over MIDI for a real minimal 
solution .. thinking a 1" cube sized box.  Also, it's not really within 
the MIDI spec, but it's probably possible to draw power for a low speed 
PIC from the MIDI input itself.

Not something I'm going to get round to building myself though as I make 
music using Cubase and so already have access to a good arp, as well as 
the built in arps. in various hardware synths that I use.
