Fix arpeggiator pattern length and delay timing issues

- Add triplet divisions for longer notes (2/1T, 4/1T)
- Fix pattern length truncation - up_down now plays half up, half down
- Set default output mode to hardware instead of simulator
- Link delay timing to note speed for proper musical relationships
