The arpeggio?

You'd need a customized arduinoboy running this code and using a modified pinout to support two Game Boys. However, since mGB has a simple setting for changing the midi channel offset, you don't need to be running a custom ROM or anything.

The pinouts you need are here:

int pinGB1Clock     = 0;    // Analog In 0 - clock out to gameboy 1
int pinGB1SerialOut = 1;    // Analog In 1 - serial data to gameboy 1
int pinGB1SerialIn  = 2;    // Analog In 2 - serial data from gameboy 1

int pinGB2Clock     = 3;    // Analog In 3 - clock out to gameboy 2
int pinGB2SerialOut = 4;    // Analog In 4 - serial data to gameboy 2
int pinGB2SerialIn  = 5;    // Analog In 5 - serial data from gameboy 2

int pinMidiInputPower = 4; // power pin for midi input opto-isolator

int pinStatusLed = 13; // Status LED
int pinLeds[] = {12,11,10,9,8,13}; // LED Pins

int pinButtonMode = 3; //toggle button for selecting the mode

In the literal sense of the term that's true but people generally assume that a chord is simultaneous unless you specify that it's a broken chord.

A synth/chiptune fast-arp is also somewhat unique to fast arpeggios or broken chords on most traditional instruments as no two notes ever ring out together, which gives it a harsher sound than is commonly found elsewhere.

Is any of your stuff in that giant 8bc torrent? That's probably a good place to start.

But most advanced sequencing would completely break those organizational rules constantly. How do you categorize a chain/phrase that comprises of drums, bass, echo of another channel and harmony? In most of my songs there are few, if any, phrases or tables that could fit into those categories, so it would take a lot of work to try to think of an organizational schema that would work for my style.

When I go back to a song that I wrote years ago it does take some time to remember the structure but it doesn't take long at all to remember it, maybe a couple plays all the way through? I think that's less time than creating and learning a generalized schema. Every song is different, so I'd rather not try to fit them all into one box.

The only problem with this sort of scheme is that you're limiting any potential for channel economy, table blending and any creative or novel use of sequencing in general. I also use live mode a lot but I wouldn't personally give up freedom in terms of my sequencing.

I'll pop in, of course.
