I am currently having fun with different methods of sequencing, using counter-sel structures as well as fiddling with logic operands. The next step is to have selected notes triggers deviate by a given %+/-. What methods would people recommend? Ideally it would be a random amount within a given tolerrance.

The note would more than likely hit on time, but less likely to hit way off time.

The obvious candidate would be a Gaussian (aka "normal") random 

number generator. The Litter Power object lp.norm will do exactly that.

There is an example of using lp.norm to emulate an analog, instable 

is very similar to the task you're approaching.

You may also want to look at other distributions: Cauchy (lp.coshy) 

or hyperbolic cosine (lp.hyppie) will give more extreme values (more 

surprises!). The Litter Power Professional Bundle gives you over two 

dozen different distributions to choose from.

Lp.norm is in the Litter Pro Bundle. You might want to start with 

looking at lp.bernie from the freeware Litter Starter Pack. Bernie 

can give you a close approximation of a Gaussian distribution.

You can just go to , download,  
and install.

Sometimes I forget which object is in which package, sorry. Of  
course, norm is also included in the Pro Bundle, which I hope you'll  
take a look at.
