Description

I think that an arbitrary way to randomize the instrument output a bit could be a very nice function.

I propose adding a special "Humanize" panel with Volume, Timing and Pitch humanize knobs.

The idea is to process the notes before they are sent to the instruments. It'd need some read-ahead for time humanization so some notes can be played earlier.

The pitch humanization would detune every note randomly in some range - prefarably with a gaussian distribution function. This would simulate non-perfect note fretting on guitars.

The ideas could be ectended to create a "randomization" pane for instrument as there are many things that can be set for this.

What do you think?
