Description
MIDIrandomA is a random 'control voltage'/number/value source. It has three different types of random noise, instead of the more usual single source, and so provides comprehensive control for exacting requirements.
Type A has four rotary controls, and provides detailed control over the gain, the quantisation, the smoothing (logarithmic accumulation), and the thinning (non-linear amplification). Type B is the classical 'Random Walk' and only provides control over the maximum size of the step between one output and the next. Type C is the opposite of B - no repeated adjacent values are allowed, and the delta size (difference between successive output values) is the minimum that is allowed.
The generation of random number values (0-127) can be triggered by a free-running LFO (Rate, =Not Synced=), or one of several MIDI note or velocity triggers, which work from notes on a piano-roll Clip in the same track.
The output can be mapped to any co-operating control in Ableton Live.
MIDIrandomA was inspired by a question on Facebook, and was programmed quickly, so it may well be far from perfect. Enjoy!
