+- Added a new submenu to the `Sound` menu called `Randomizer`. This menu gives you access to the following parameters (which affect both sequenced and arpeggiated notes):
+  - `Lock`: This parameter determines whether the randomized values will be locked to fixed values. If you change any of the randomizer parameters, the sequence of randomized values will change to a new one and will be locked again.
+  - `Velocity Spread`: This parameters lets you apply some random variation to the notes.

 - Added `CHORD POLYPHONY (POLY)` paramater that works together with the previous parameter, and this one will dictate how big is the chord, that is, how many notes will be played at the same time.
+- Added `REVERSE PROBABILITY (RVRS)` paramater that will allow you to control the chance of a sound to invert the `Reverse` setting for that note. This parameter will only affect oscillators whose type is `Sample` (it does not affect wavetables, SCW, or standard waveforms).
 - Added `LOCK` parameter to allow you to freeze the current set of randomized values so the sequence has a repeatable pattern.
 - Added new `WALK1`, `WALK2`, `WALK3` and `PATTERN` note modes.
