The grid is pretty simple. I start by generating a major chord in the upper section: 0, -12, +4, +7. I take the root pitch and rotate it around the circle of fifths, going down 7 semitones each time. The other chord notes follow along. Every now and then, I switch to minor mode by randomly turning the +4 into a +3 and shifting the root pitch down by 3. The relative minor is always 3 semitones below the major.

I also use the chord notes to generate an arpeggio using a merge, and I randomize the playback order of that arp sequence. Down below, I use the same chord notes again, randomly, to trigger the lead sound (a pulse oscillator). This time, no drums.
