Unlike most of Xrandom's categories, these tools layer randomness on top of real music theory rather than applying it directly — a random chord progression is built from actual diatonic harmony in a randomly chosen key, not four random chord names; a random scale uses a real interval pattern (and is shown live on a piano diagram); a rhythm pattern weights downbeats more heavily so it feels like a beat rather than noise.
These are built for practice and inspiration: generate a progression or scale to improvise over, or a rhythm pattern as a quick programming starting point for a drum machine or step sequencer. Every result is genuinely randomized, so no two practice sessions repeat the same material.
