A simple Random Module

steffensen · Post by **steffensen** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:04 am

Instead of building a whole setup of various modules to get a random signal value (somewhat DSP demanding too), i would like a simple module that does this for me. Would be nice if it contained a trigger as well.

Pretty please with cherry on top?

why you dont use a multiLFO with S&H in Mod2 ?

because i want to avoid having 3 modules for one task, to save DSP as well as space.
i plan on having at least 10 diff random sources.

For modular?

What type of random signal value?

cheers,

For modular yes.
What kind? hm.. what diff kinds are there?

I was just wondering what you intend to do with all the random signals. What is this module for specifically (or at least what will you use it for) ?

well, it could be useful for many things.. like a random patch generator for one.

I want a random value module, too! But I think it only makes sense if the upper and lower limits can be set. Otherwise (eg if it's used for frequency modulation) there is a good chance that an *unwanted* cacaphony is produced..

yes and apart from the fact that it should have lower and upper area( which is basically gain), it should hold a feature to define the random signal....

- completly random
- and maxium for a step range, f.e. it starts with 12 and max_step is 3, then it could go like this
12-13-11-9-6-7-5
steps in this case would be
+1 -2 -2 -3 +1 -2 -> all steps are smaller than 3 in this case

mathematical condition would be |step| < = x

could be useful to control a pitch modifier in front of an oscillator to simulate a slight voice destabilisaton effect on an oscillator.

as long as its triggable, and very light on DSP, im all for diff versions of it.
