Notes node

Humanizer

Adds random imperfection to a note stream with two independent knobs: timing jitter (when a note actually fires) and velocity jitter (how hard it hits). Both default to off.

What it does

Humanizer is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.

Try it

Add a little timing and velocity jitter to a rigid quantized sequence to make it feel played by hand.
