More randomization

Thanks for this fantastic app!

It would be nice to have subtle randomization within the loop (not changing to another loop).
This would give useful variety without complete loop change.

Parameters:
- Frequency (mutate every X frames, then go back to the original loop)
- Duration (mutation covers X frames)
- Amount of mutation (how much the loop is altered)

All the loops are audio recordings of Pete playing, not sequences, so doing within-the-loop randomizations would be a bit tricky to get right (without sounding unnatural).

However, taking your suggestion in the context of what we do have now, perhaps locking most of the loops and turning on the auto-randomize parts (press and hold part randomize button to bring up panel) and choose your frequency range would give you at least some of the effect you're looking for, albeit without the control of coming back to the same part regularly.

Oh, I wasn't aware these are all real loops, now its clear. Thanks for your suggestion.
However having ability to return to the basic loop would be is really nice and doable with loops as well.

Something like this:
Loop1 Loop1 Loop1 LoopX
Loop1 Loop1 Loop1 LoopX, LoopX can be random or fixed

In this case LoopX acts like a break defining a phrase. Returning to the basic loop makes it more musical.
