Description

A simple modulator plugin that uses a random walk algorithm. Map the output to any parameter in Live. The algorithm produces 8 randomly undulating signals that can add a human/analog feel to a sound. the 8 signals can either evolve together, following a similar path, or they can evolve independently.

The amplitude defines the range of the movement. The excitation define its speed. the split

parameter separate each signal produced.

the split parameter separate each signal produced. the more you split, the more each signal will evolve independently.

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!!

    Thank you for sharing!! is it only me not seeing the map button? (on Max it looks like the device is not frozen)

    The map button isn't present on either version of this, looks really useful though! Looking forward to trying it out. :)
