Bakis,

May a do a suggestion on some possible poll questions ?

-midi in, built-in mini-keyboard or both ?

-programmable note order 
or 
-just all note orders possible from an 8-64  bit matrix (filled by
scanning the keyboard) selected by a knob (latter would be hard for
accurate and reproducible "selection" of desired patterns)
Florian made some interesting remarks on the above.
If not feasible, an up/down/random option seems obvious

For the rest, 
-cv and gate out seem obvious but a PCB-mounted dip switch to be able
to drive the internal system bus, could be considered

Same for: 
-control pot (& cv in ?) in for gate-out length
-a (cv-controlled ?) clock divider/multiplier for the gate out clock ?
-three-way switch (& cv in ?) for octave range

Sorry for this unsolicited post, but a good arpeggiator is too
imprtant for me.

Kind regards
Joost
