That is the Randomizer. Heres from the Tutorial:


RANDOM VARIATIONS

14. Now for something completly different.On the right side of the track dialog is a section that says MIX WITH <00>. Right-Clicking into <00>will allow you to enter a value. Change it to <05>. This means that Pattern 01(the initial seed pattern) will be mixed with pattern 05. Below this is a dialog for +/- <00>. Clicking into this will allow you to put in a 'percentage' of how much pattern 05 will be mixed with pattern 01. For our purposes, change it to +/- <30>.


[for clarification: the +/-<00> dialog is actually setting a RANGE of CHORDS within a Pattern]

15.Now left-click into an empty slot below the percentage dialog and another impressive dialog  presents itself: the PITCH RANDOMIZER FUNCTIONS. There are many options for random permutation. For our purposes, select R :<select notes randomly>. The R goes into the slot. You can select more slots to put in more random functions.However we don't hear the permutations yet.(remember...the music is still playing!) How come? We have to tell  Ludwig where we want the random permuations. We do this by selecting another empty cell in track 1 and selecting <?> RANDOMIZED. Now the features we just programmed will take place when Ludwig arrows to the <?> cell.

========================================================

The randomizer works this way:
1. select two user defined pitch patterns
2.Select a range of "chords" within the patterns 
3.An order in which the chords specify will play. This is indicated by >> (left to right) and << (right to left) and ?= random order.
4.A series of 32 rendomizer operations (or algorithms)

in other words answer LUDWIG these questions:

Which two patterns am I working on?
Which chords within those patterns am I working on?
In what order should I play the chords?
Exactly what do you want me to do with each chord.?
