Arps/sequencers are strange in that they are external to the sound and modulation architecture but also a kind of modulator themselves.There are two ways of how to do this. The most obvious is a module in osc section. It can be bigger, than with the second way - in the modulation section.IIRC there is something about Phase Plant's design that makes implementing arp or sequencer problematic.
They're usually triggers for modulation. ie. A note one (gate event) for an envelope but also modulate (control voltage) the pitch. The latter can kind of be done with what's already there but it's clunky.
Arps are essentially an external controller like a keyboard.
I think that might be the issue with Phase Plant since it would require them to design something that sits externally (to some extent) to the rest of the synth. ie. Before the modulators and oscillators.
