By stochastic, I mean it randomly ticks on only one arbitrary beat per measure

    This is similar to some popular exercises for improving your internal pulse. E.g. having the metronome drop out for a number of bars while you’re playing.

    My prediction:

    On its own, it would be hard to derive the underlying pulse. Even a trained musician would take a little while (my guess is 4+ measures). In the context of a song it would probably have little to no effect.

    I could probably test this if anyone’s interested

      I am. Let us know your findings if you end up testing it and if you have a good way of people testing it out for themselves, that would be cool.

      I feel like its something I should be able to code out quick but for some reason I’m drawing a blank

      I agree with you.

      I’d be curious if a purely random choice of beat would actually be easier than if there was a skewed bias.
