There is a way to arpegiate using a MMT-8? 

I have one, that grey older type, bought it without the ac adaptor 
from a guy that thought it was a gadget to sync digital mixers 
consoles with a DA-88 recorder (it can be used for that too...) 

it would be better if you go for the black ones, which are the 
newer...
