This is a greatly oversimplified view of rhythm. There are many rhythms and grooves that do not lock in with "the grid". These tools will most likely not produce a natural pattern of velocity that sounds appropriate for the generated rhythm. Step sequencers are a tool for inputting rhythm, not for generating it. Arpeggiators typically have a consistent rhythm (hitting on every one of some subdivision).
