One thing I'd like to see in a pitch-smart arpeggiator: automatic
chording, much like what can be done with a Suzuki Qchord (
http://www.qchord.net/ ).
(see also LAU: http://old.nabble.com/Suzuki-QC1-Qchord-Digital-Songcard-Guitar-td28495861.html
)

Instead of the usual settings for arpeggiation range&style (1octave,
2octave && notes played in order vs. random, etc), you'd have arp
range AND chord.
Instead of playing the notes to arpeggiate, you'd play the root note
of the chord and select a desired chord. Getting fancier, once a
chord is set, you could do a discrete-glissando up and down the
keyboard to "strum" the chord. (
