That's probably what I'd do. If you want a bit more 'cycling', you could
use the random number as a 'step'.  Something like:

  knote init 60
  kstep random 1, 3
  knote += int(kstep)
  if knote > 63 then
    knote -= 4
  endif
  ....

A quick test seems to work.  (Beware non-integer random, though!)
...Or expand the random range and use a 'while' instead of 'if'...
