Cyclone power up reset

I spent a lot of time with my Cyclone, reading and re-reading the manual and
committing the mnemonic interface to memory in an effort to get the most out
of it.  I actually find it to be quite reliable and predictable.  When it
does hard crash pressing the enter key while powering up resets it, although
at the expense of user programs in memory.  Although the Cyclone excels at
creating interesting complex patterns, one thing I could never make it do is
the simple 1980's style alternating octave bassline arpeggio, like in Duran
Duran's "Hold Back The Rain".  I could never make it start with two notes in
the bottom octave before switching up to the high octave.  I actually think
that it can't be done on a Cyclone, despite all it's power!

Cheers,
Keith
