MOTM

Gate length is a necessity rather than an option.  I have had a couple of
sequencers with this option and it is amazing what it can do to the sound in
a realtime performance situation.  Also great with arpeggiators (extremely
close cousin).

The only one I can remember for sure doing it was the Akai 1U arpeggiator.
Incredible.

The Mobius does NOT do this unfortunately.  The only control you have there
is 50% or 100% (the latter is achieved by gliding the note and turn the
global glide off).

Gate is fairly easy to implement too from what I understand.  Global gate is
fine for me.  Even if individual gates are provided, I would also like to
see a global gate that always affected all steps.

Cheers!
Shemp.
