Ableton's random sequencer

Don't program drums. Let Follow Actions play.

Chop a drum break into equal-length audio clips, drop them into consecutive Session View slots. Set each clip's Follow Action to 'Any' at 1/8 bar, quantization off. Launch the first clip for a non-repeating pattern. Record output, freeze and flatten, then loop the best 2 bars.
