# A MIDI arpeggiator, with three different styles: up, down, or up-down. BPM and
# note length are both configurable, and LEDs cycle with the currently-played
# key/note to give some visual feedback.
# You'll need to connect Keybow 2040 to a computer running a DAW like Ableton,
# or other software synth, or to a hardware synth that accepts USB MIDI.
# Drop the keybow2040.py file into your `lib` folder on your `CIRCUITPY` drive.
# NOTE! Requires the adafruit_midi CircuitPython library also!
