Seed

Deterministic note sequencer

When to use it

Add Seed after a Clock when you want a deterministic, repeating note sequence from a numeric seed — ideal for generative patterns you can recall exactly by seed value.

Parameters

Parameter	Range	What it does
Bypass	0 – 1	When on, the device is disabled and MIDI passes through unchanged.
Steps	1 – 32	Number of steps in the generated sequence (1–32).
Rate	0 – 9	Clock division for each step — how fast the pattern advances.
Chance	0 – 100	Probability (0–100%) that a note is allowed through.
Lock	0 – 1	When on, the current pattern is frozen; changing seed or range won't regenerate.
Seed	0 – 255	Numeric seed for deterministic pattern generation (0 = random on each reset).
Root Note	0 – 115	Lowest pitch class used when picking notes for the sequence.
Note Range	12 – 48	Span in semitones above the root note for random/sequenced pitches.
Density	0 – 100	How often steps produce notes versus rests (0–100%).
Gate	10 – 200	Note length as a percentage of the step (10–200%).
Gate Spread	0 – 100	Random variation applied to gate length (0–100%).
Rest Length	1 – 8	Duration of rests in steps when a slot is empty (1–8).
Rest Spread	0 – 100	Random variation on rest length (0–100%).
Velocity	1 – 127	Default or fixed note velocity (1–127), or velocity scale for this device.
Channel	1 – 16	MIDI channel (1–16) used for generated or forwarded messages.

Parameter values

Bypass

Value	Name	Meaning
0	Off	Device is active and processes MIDI.
1	On	Device is bypassed; messages pass through unchanged.

Rate

Value	Name	Meaning
0	8 bars	Advance one step every eight bars.
1	4 bars	Advance one step every four bars.
2	2 bars	Advance one step every two bars.
3	1/1	One step per bar.
4	1/2	Half-note steps.
5	1/4	Quarter-note steps.
6	1/8	Eighth-note steps.
7	1/16	Sixteenth-note steps.
8	1/32	Thirty-second-note steps.
9	1/64	Sixty-fourth-note steps.

Lock

Value	Name	Meaning
0	Off	Pattern regenerates when seed or range changes.
1	On	Pattern is locked until unlocked.
