Hi team Hope you’re all having a great weekend. I would like to suggest a feature for the steps tab that would enable us to lock individual steps out of randomization, as a way to avoid such steps to get activated or modified when hitting the randomization button. It would be very useful to being able to create generative sequences in a more controlled manner. Cheers. ---

Hello, This is already possible by enabling the lock mode and then select each step you want to be locked. See screenshot below: ![Lock_ST_001](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/audiomodern/original/1X/ebcc572433ac09587298f200f8b9c927575cddb4.png) ---

I didn’t know that, thanks!
