use variation and humanisation

A recent addition to Maschine that gains hardware control with Mikro Mk3 is the Variation Engine. This works in two modes: Humanize and Randomize. The former adds minor inconsistencies in timing and velocity to a Pattern, to replicate a real player’s feel. The latter randomises the hits/notes played by a Sound. To use either, simply hold a Sound’s pad on the controller and press the Variation button. Turning the encoder adjusts the variation applied. In Keyboard mode, you can tailor the randomised values to suit your melodic content. Variations always adhere to the currently selected scale too.
