Strangelight AudioMIDI Humanize
Adds late-biased timing spread and velocity variation for less mechanical playback. Timing is causal: live notes are nudged later, never earlier.
Loosens mechanically precise MIDI playback by adding subtle timing and velocity variation. Timing jitter is applied around a delayed center so it stays causal, and velocity is nudged within a configured amount to break up uniform dynamics. Reproducible mode restarts the configured seeded sequence once when available transport changes from stopped to playing; Free run preserves the live sequence across transport starts. Patch load and node reset restart the configured seed in either mode. Live parameter changes apply only to new input; already queued events preserve their randomized event data and computed due time.
