Skip note by probability

All this begins to remind me of the many features I designed for an algorithmic sequencer that never was. 

These days I’d probably look at neural networks to do some of the things I wanted it to be capable of.

I would like to set a probability that a specific step would be skipped.   By this I mean that it would be as if the step did not exist at all in the sequence and it would be completely jumped over.  In this way, a 4 or 8 note sequence would every once in a while only be 3 or 7 resulting in a shift relative to the rhythm track or other things playing.
