[Cantankerous]

Keeping in mind that an arpeggio pattern is looping, I'd like to have a "pattern phase" parameter in the arpeggio section. It would allow one to specify which beat (or event) in the pattern to start with when the pattern is triggered. It would not alter the pattern length, only the starting point when triggered.

It could default to the value 1 (so it would not affect existing presets).

I think it can drastically alter the feel of a pattern if that long note is on the first beat, the first half beat, or the third beat for example.

Just an idea.

Nice Idea! I am all for new things that add to creativity!
