Adding random note FX can mess up notes, because it does not take into the account correct scale, making the effect very limited in usability. This concerns midi mostly, but could be useful for all instruments.
What is the problem?
No scale-quantization on random note. I can assign FX that sets random note X amount up or down, but this could be any note, I would prefer it to be in predefined scale, pitch-quantized.
What do you want to achieve?
I want notes on random note FX to be quantized to scale – this could be an option on instrument parameters. Add additional scale tab/page on instrument parameters perhaps?
Are there any workarounds?
Not that I know of.

Any references to other products?
Korg Electribe. Maybe others as well but I haven’t used others.
I write my own music tracks and apps on pure data, and I have a text file that contains all the scales – I just tell the app to which row of .txt file to quantizise to. Maybe custom chords and/or scales could be contained and red from textfile?
First element of row would be the name of chord that can be selected from chord fx menu, and other elements are midi note values (could be A B C also), like this:

I understand chords could be limited length. But pitch-quantization could be any length and custom set as well.
