# How to create a generative patch in VCV Rack
[[Marbles for VCV|Marbles]] is good for random triggers. Bernoulli gates are great for probabilistic stuff too.[^1]
To create a generative sequencer that feeds another MIDI instrument, start with a host MIDI and host time module, then insert a generative sequencer, like NoteSeq16. Connect the V/Oct and gate from host MIDI to the sequencer. Connect the beat output of the host time to the clock input of the sequencer. Connect the playing output of the host time to the reset input of the sequencer.[^2]
