I would like to be able to utilize the arpeggiator and poly modes, I
think it might depend on how much it costs to buy a unit that does it.
I also own a Polysix! That would be nice to find a solution for
both. I'm writing some dance music for a project and am unhappy with
many softsynths and vst plugins (i'm using cubase), to be able to
control my analog synths via midi and record the output would be ideal
for many parts i'm envisioning. I could most possibly use the
midijack and just layer parts multitrack style.

The Harms unit you are using is no longer in production
