Hey all , is there anyway to tie generate random events to chords instead of single notes ?

I’ve been searching online but can’t find anything

Cheers

Generate random events.
Copy/paste all those events in grid view.
Immediately after paste the copies are highlighted, transpose them up/down.
Repeat again and then you have 2 copies of your original random generated notes.
This method can quickly get messy in grid edit.

#2
Do this same thing, generate random single events.
Copy track to another track.
Copy again a 2nd time.
On main menu you can transpose the 2nd and 3rd copies.
You can also go into grid edit, highlight all notes and nudge forward/back slightly.
This method is less sloppy but separates each note to diff tracks.
