Chance

Probabilistic note gate

Chance parameters

When to use it

Insert Chance to probabilistically pass or drop notes (and optionally scale surviving velocity). Use rate to thin a dense stream over time.

Parameters

ParameterRangeWhat it does
Bypass0 – 1When on, the device is disabled and MIDI passes through unchanged.
Chance0 – 100Probability (0–100%) that a note is allowed through.
Rate0Clock division for each step — how fast the pattern advances.
Use Velocity0 – 1When on, dropped notes scale remaining velocity instead of a hard mute.

Parameter values

Bypass

ValueNameMeaning
0OffDevice is active and processes MIDI.
1OnDevice is bypassed; messages pass through unchanged.

Rate

ValueNameMeaning
0OffNo rate thinning — only per-note chance applies.
11/1Allow roughly one message per 1/1 clock slice.
21/2Allow roughly one message per 1/2 clock slice.
31/4Allow roughly one message per 1/4 clock slice.
41/8Allow roughly one message per 1/8 clock slice.
51/16Allow roughly one message per 1/16 clock slice.
61/32Allow roughly one message per 1/32 clock slice.
71/64Allow roughly one message per 1/64 clock slice.

Use Velocity

ValueNameMeaning
0OffDropped notes are silent.
1OnPassed notes keep proportional velocity.
