Description
A simple modulator plugin that uses a random walk algorithm. Map the output to any parameter in Live. The algorithm produces a randomly undulating signal that can add a human/analog feel to a sound.
I also created a version that includes 8 distinct outputs; you can find it on my author page
The amplitude defines the range of the movement. The excitation define its speed. the split
parameter separate each signal produced.
The beat parameter syncs the signal with Ableton’s tempo. The step parameter quantifies the
signal to a specified value. try using it to control the pitch of a synthesizer!
The smooth parameter smooths out the signal produced. it is only activated if the beat or step parameters are active.
thank you for downloading the patch!!
