Randomizer

The Randomizer dialog lets you create random notes in the Step Sequencer, based on a chord map, as well to humanize the settings available in the Graph Editor.

1. Random Section

This section lets you set up the options that will be used when generating random notes in the Step Sequencer.

• Octave - Sets the base octave used when generating notes.
• Range - Specifies the octave range will fit in while creating random notes.
• Base Key - Sets the base tone for notes.
• Chord - Here you can select the chord type that will be used as a base for creating notes.
• Amount - Specifies the amount of notes that will be generated. The more you turn this wheel to the left, the more inactive notes will be generated in the pattern.
• Apply - Generates a random combination based on the settings above in all selected channels. You can use this feature to generate combinations until you like the result. To hear the combinations you generate, hit the play button in the Transport panel before you bring up the Randomizer dialog (or you can also call the Randomizer and then press Space). If the led at the top left corner of the random section is turned on, the Randomizer will generate a new combination when you press the OK button. When you hit the Apply button, this led is automatically turned off, so you can keep the desired combination when you click OK.

2. Humanize Section

This section lets you set up the options that will be used to "humanize" all selected channels in the Step Sequencer, i.e. randomizing notes properties (these are the values you enter in the Graph Editor).

• Pan - Check this to apply randomization to the pan property of notes.
• Volume - Check this to apply randomization to the volume property of notes.
• Pitch - Check this to apply randomization to the pitch property of notes.
• Amount - Sets amount of randomization.

To humanize selected channels, be sure that the led at the top left corner of the Humanize section is turned on before hitting the OK button.
