on a nother line, take a look at this one ;-

It might suit your needs.

It's something I've discussed with a couple of people, without coming to any
firm conclusion.
A completely independent, real-time arpeggiator would probably be too
complex to fit in the remaining space.

But another option might be to provide a modified real-time record mode,
that behaves like an arpeggiator. This has been on the TBI list for a while,
but with a low priority.
It would work something like this:
You would enter pattern edit, then record mode, and activate 'arpeggio
capture mode'.
This would initially set the pattern length to 1, and activate skip on the
first step, so that no notes are playing.
Now if you play a note on your keyboard, this note would be written to step
one, and skip de-activated, so the pattern would play your note repeatedly.
While holding that note, if you play further notes, they would be written
into the following steps of the pattern, and the length increased so that
all held notes now play in turn - just like an arpeggiator.
Removal of notes could either be done by resetting to a single skipped step
when all note are released, by setting skip on individual notes as they are
released, or manually.
This would behave pretty much like an arpeggiator, with the bonus that when
you have an arpeggio you like playing, you just de-activate record mode, and
it remains in the pattern, exactly as it was playing. Different direction
modes defined for the pattern would control the direction of arpeggiation,
and you could use note accumulator transpose to create octave range effects
(or more complex things).

Cheers,

It's a sweet idea Colin. 
An alternative might be to have an Aux event that said "Grab note from
MIDI n" where n is a number relating to the notes of a chord received
at MIDI input. Each step with such an Aux event could then take its
base from MIDI rather than the note value and revert to the note when
you are not holding down a chord. Maybe.

Oops, there I go again... 8-)
