the arpeggiator function is a very welcome addition to the mpc1000

to make it a fully functioning Arpeggiator, it needs:

1. octave switch - 1 - 5 octaves

2. a hold function switch

3. customisable Arpeggiator user algorithm

here's an idea for a custom functions window

hold = on, off
octave = 1oct, 2oct, 3oct, 4oct, 5oct
up
down
forward----= 1 - 99 sets the duration before direction change
reverse----= 1 - 99 sets the duration before direction reversed

random----= 1 - 99 sets the depth of the randomisation

user algorithm = Oct2 UP DW Rev

user algorithm example: user arp = Oct2 UP DW Rev

this means the arpeggiator would play up then down then reverse direction while playing a two octave shift.

4. Played... so that the arp note order is the midi order played

You're missing Played... so that the arp note order is the midi order played, which I believe is what the behavior is now. With played you can actually do an up/down based on the order you play the notes.

tested this - only goes up - added it to the list
