hey there,

i was watching a video of william fields the other day and he has this awesome "jitter"-knob on his controller, which randomly distributes the events from his sequencers. would something like this also be possible in tidal, maybe by catching osc messages in supercollider and then passing them on to superdirt with a slight (random) delay?

here's the video:

all the best,

You could do something like

```haskell
all $ (# nudge (range 0 0.25 rand))

```
