A very musical RANDOM8 patch you should try

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's how to make RANDOM8 produce repeating notes (where the SAME NOTES repeat each time!), M185 style. You need a VCA & two channels of RANDOM8. This will also work on a Turing Machine/other random modules! THIS PATCH IS ALSO A RANDOM GATE PATCH - I don't show this, but you could trigger drum modules probabilistically with it! 👉 / mylarmelodies 🙌

Bonus Tip: I have been asked a lot whether RANDOM8 could generate gates - This patch achieves that, so you could also use the output of the VCA and feed it to percussion modules, or your voices, etc.
