Step sequencer is what I would love to see in H9 and the reason I haven’t sold my Goatkeeper. I don’t see why something like that would be an issue for Eventide but the problem is that I don’t think many people is asking for it.

If you are looking for an immediate alternative, Meris has recently released the Ottobit Jr, and Hologram has the Dream Sequence, both can do what the Harpeggiator does but both let you customize the steps and some other things the Harpeggiator sadly can not.
