As you can see, it's sort of like multiple sequencers running in tandem and almost a little like your multiple notes/arp per step.
The amazing thing about the Zyklus workflow is that you can jam and improvise melodies straight into it with MIDI input and then these can be triggered per step or on their own independent step-sequenced row.
I urge you to have a little look at what it really means to improvise with a sequencer and consider adding some of that functionality to your project.At its most basic level it is rather like 12 polyphonic sequencers, each of which can be run at any transposition or set of simultaneous transpositions independently of the others, simply by pressing a not or chord on the MIDI control keyboard. 99 different sequences can be stored in each memory bank, of which any 12 can be assigned to the front panel for immediate access together with related control information. These sequences need not consist of repeating musical phrases. They could be single chords, short fast runs which end on held chords, segments of control data such as MIDI program changes, the synthesisers/drum part for an entire song, etc.
Good luck.
