Well, er, I didn't set out to confuse anyone, but I do appear to have 
innate skills in that direction... :)
My idea was actually fairly simple but I hoped to stimulate ideas on the 
list generally, rather than just spouting stuff like I usually do.

For what it's worth, this was my version:

Supposing the three notes I need to be either on or off are at steps 5, 
9 and 12 in my pattern

Aux A  Step 1 - Rand Aux C, value about 50 (play with the knob until it 
gives the randomness you desire)
Aux B  Steps 5, 9 and 12 set to Mask Gate,dAcc>n and make each value, 
say, 60
Aux C  Step1 - Offset D accum Abs, set to a value about 20 (play with 
this value too)

There is only one randomisation event and it happens before the three 
steps conditional gate masking. Aux B is the important one as it links 
our randomised number check (the value of accumulator D) to the same 
value on each step.

One useful job for the D accumulator is for toggling events - so using a 
large accumulator offset (rel) and conditional masks you can turn events 
(notes, direction changes, transposes, MIDI CCs etc.) on for a few 
passes of the pattern, then turn them off for a few passes and so on.

Is this kinda stuff any use?
