New LP Arpeggiator idea

[PHC]

I just had an idea of some cool arp modes for LP for next OS update

Normally arps go up, down, up-down, down-up, random, order pressed...

My idea is what I call Bach Mode (reminds me of J.S. Bach works)

The idea is that the arp would play the above modes but would go back to the lowest pressed note on every other note.

For a 4 note chord it would go like this (for standard UP mode + Bach)

1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4...

for UP/DOWN + Bach

1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 2...

It would be great because it would allow to emphasize the root note of the chord (if chord would be played without inversion) and would give an effect of holding the lowest note with the left hand and playing and arpeggio in the right hand. Now add glide...

What do you think?

I like it and it's simple enough that there might be room to implement it.

Of course, an option should be "Beethoven mode" for three note chords!
Like this:
1,3,2,3, 1,3,2,3, 1,3,2,3, ...

both modes suggested would be nice! Especially the one the thread started mentioned
