Overview

Name | Version: 3Gates 1.2
Author: Gross9978
Device Type: MIDI Generator
Description: 1.2-Added Scramble to Gates
1.1-Bug Fix, Added ability to Randomize the Gates, increased max size of Gates length.

3Gates is a MidiTool Generator that uses 3 lanes of varying length and up to 16 steps of pitches to create notes. The "gates" are combined and repeated at varying lengths throughout the clip and step through the available pitches which can be randomized/scrambled. At the bottom are settings to randomize the gates within the current length, choose the amount of steps, turn Scale on or off, change the octave and define a low/high amount for randomized velocity.

Great generator, a shame it doesn't feature shuffle and random on the gate lanes too.

A legato function would be handy as well.

Thanks!
I've detected a bug.

When the Notes value is changed, the sequence doesn't update.

You have to turn a gate step off and on or viceversa to make it update.

Hope that helps.
Thanks, I’ll check it out and fix that one. 
Random/shuffle on the gates could be cool, I’ll mess around with it when I get a chance. 
Thanks for the update, there's one other thing:

Generators are usually able to to generate notes only within a selected time frame within the clip if wanted.

This one always takes up the whole clip even if you make a time selection before pressing Generate.

Hope that helps, thanks again.
Good catch, I got it working like that with one catch, you have select the time and then press the apply button before entering gates in the tool. After that it works as expected for the remainder of the time using it in that clip. I can't figure out why it isn't working when just selecting time and entering gates from the beginning. I'm sure it's an order of operations issue but at the moment I can't figure it out. If I figure that out I'll update to fix it later on. Thanks for the bug hunt.
It seems like everything works once gates have been entered the first time. it's a hacky fix for now but having the Gates initialized with one step makes everything work as expected, you just have to first delete the note in the clip. Either ways a work around but I like this better for now, you don't have remember to do anything before using it you just delete what's already there and it works. I see you've made a tool also, my patching is a messy disaster but if you have any suggestions id love to hear them.
Thanks for the tip.

Other than that little problem, I think the tool is brilliant for creating extremely weird and experimental rhythms by combining the Steps value with different Gate values.

I see that you added randomization to the gates but no shuffle sadly, that's what I'd implement next.

I would also remove two of the step lanes and leave a single one with random and shuffle, as the other two always end up adding too many notes to the overall sequence when randomized. Either way, keep it up!
Yeah I plan on adding scramble, random was easy to add but scramble will take a bit more work. I’ll get around to it:)
Scramble was easier than I expected, Kept the 3 lanes though that's my favorite part haha One mans trash and all:)
haha, far from it man, thanks
