n Random Note
FX Description
Sets a range of notes from which a random selection will be made, for each
play cycle of the pattern. Interval are based on the selected scale for the pads
Value Ranges
0 to +/-100
Example
The randomisation is applied within a range set by the value. By default this is
a +/- semitone range across a chromatic scale. However this is based on the
config settings and can therefore be changed to another scale. Start with a
small range setting to keep things musical and then apply a different setting to
experiment with variations.

Notes 'n' will play randomly, through each pattern cycle. The selected range is set
by the +/- value in the FX. This is applied with reference to the root note (Example
D6) and determines the +/- offset from which the random note is selected.
