kyma•tweaky: How MakeAnArpeggiator

Question (or Task)

I'd like to make a simple arpeggiator that plays any notes held down on a keyboard in either up, down, or up & down mode, possibly repeating over several octaves at a given tempo. In other words, I want to make a typical arpeggiator similar to the ones found on many real and emulated analog synth keyboards. Extra credit for arpeggiating in the order the keys are played.

On page 261 of Kyma X Revealed, there's a dissection of the Arpeggiate keyboard pitches expression from the Expressions Library (in sequences.txt). It uses the countTriggersMod: expression to determine the order number of an incoming key event and does a sampleAndHold: each time that "voice" comes up.

That example might serve as a starting point for what you are trying to do.
