software midi randomizer with note step locking?

Post by xenomachino1 » Thu May 28, 2026 9:54 am

Let me explain....

I've been using Sting 2 to generate random 1 bar percussion patterns.

What would be ideal (and a time saver) would be to get random patterns WITHOUT the notes falling where the kick drum hits (the 1, the 5, the 9 and the 13).

Is there any midi sequencer with a random function that has this feature?

thanks

Lots of step sequencers w/ randomization can disable/gate steps, for example MDD Snake or many K-Teck ones.

And you can use Velocity in Gate mode to filter out low velocity notes from sequencers that have steps for velocity.

You can automate/modulate MIDI FX and even MIDI Effect Rack Chains to gate notes.
