Polyend Tracker: New ARP FX! [1.4.0b1 firmware review]

​‪@Polyend‬ have been hard at work updating the Tracker to fix bugs and implement new features. One of the most exciting is the new arpeggiator effect, currently being tested as part of v.1.4.0b1. Since this was a hotly anticipated feature, I downloaded it and had a look at how it was implemented to give folks an idea of what to expect.

I did run into a couple of quirks/bugs, which I've detailed in an issue on GitHub. Bear in mind that this is still a beta, and so subject to change and improvement. I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of it in future.
