Lets say I have a midi performance and I want to add randomness to the position and velocity, but I want to do it relative to the current midi note values. For example, random +/-5 velocity on existing notes, rather than just randomize everything in a range. Is this possible?
Yes there are several ways.
If you want to permanently change the Velocity values in a MIDI Part by randomizing them you’d use the Logical Editor (not the Project Logical Editor). This will playback the same every time.
If you want to do the randomizing on the fly so the playback varies every time it’s played
- In the MIDI Modifiers section of the Track’s Inspector you can randomize & otherwise manipulate the MIDI before it is played. Changes here will effect the entire MIDI sequence passing through it.
- The most surgical tool is the recently introduced fields Velocity Variance and Play Probability for Notes which can be uniquely set per Note on the Info Line or graphically in the editor’s Lower Zone.

Velocity Variance is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
