Random gate per track?

Random gate per track?

2003-11-12 by Robert van der Kamp

Hey Colin, 

while listening to an Autechre track I thought that it may 
be a nice idea to add an optional real-time randomizing 
factor (a value between 0 and 127) to a track's gate 
length. 

So everytime you are ready to send out a note for a given 
channel, an if the gate randomizer value is > 0, randomize 
the gate length with the given factor. Higher factor values 
produce bigger changes in gate length. In combination with 
random playback mode, this would give me a randomly 
selected notes picked out of a pre-programmed set (the 
pattern), with more or less real-time random gate times.

A similar real-time randomizer scheme would be possible for 
step time, velocity and CC values. Or even MIDI note values 
(but still following the set key).

Would this be at all possible, CPU wise?
