«[SIMPLE] Random Pad Generator» by Checco Ruseo

on 17 Sep'20 12:40 in guirandompad

A random pad generation thing. Every time you click EXECUTE, a pad with a certain number of melodic lines is generated using the parameters in the GUI. Use it -> study the code -> modify it -> ? -> profit! P.S. sorry for my mediocre english ;)
