I agree. These things are at least worth trying, and they may inspire some musical usage we haven't yet considered. I love surprises... :) Best, dp
Maybe a more musical way to "humanize" would be to increase velocity (by a small random amount) on the downbeat, and maybe decrease on 1/8th or 1/16th notes. Or an option to increase on the backbeats, decrease elsewhere. Sort of like a step sequencer where you program the delta (relative to the input) at each step instead of the absolute value. You'd need tempo information for any of that, I guess. Might be easier when Jack MIDI is more widely available. What about using pitch bend to slightly "detune" some notes? Might make rolls sounds a little less mechanical...
