If you treat the ratchet like a mini arpeggiator you could go on creating modes for ever.
Combine ‘chord’ value with ‘rachet’ value with’key’ ‘scale’ on and on and on.
I use my Arpies a bit like that between zaq and synth. Could be worth looking at Jason’s stuff for some inspiration.
I replace my glide suggestion with a more general one! Ratcheted transition between steps! Notes, velocities, forwards, reverse as subsections of mode request!
