No, what your said first is correct.  You would play a chord on the
keyboard, and the arpeggiator would give you the arpeggio of this chord.
The range of this arpeggio (from less than an octave to eight octaves) would
depend on a CV attenuator.  The shape of this arpeggio (up and down, only
up, only down, random notes, etc) would depend on the shape of the CV.  It's
probably pretty standard, but I still want to build one, and I don't really
want to use uP's if I can get away without them.
