==================

i'm not gonna say it isn't possible... but i'm not sure how i'd approach 
it...

possibly using the "pattern" LFOs (octaves, fifth+oct, sus4-trip, neener & 
hemi-quaver) routed to pitch and modulating the LFO(s) with one or more 
controllers while the arp is running..?

maybe someone can come up with a better way...?

remember, the touch-strip is basically just like any other controller 
input or knob. the power is in the cords ;)
