I need to randomize a switch('s). At the moment I'm extracting the second value from the random seed module, and using it to push a selector that has alternating 0 and 1 values, This is the best I can think of so far, but and I don't like the results. Anyone got a better way to get a random 0 or 1 value?

as said in an earlier post, take a piece of nuclear material ,hook up a geiger counter to your midi input , voila! but now serious: my personal random float dealer works with 3 different parts. i take the random value generated by SM, mix it with a randomly choosen float from the tons of random numbers i downloaded at random.org and then i mix this with a value that i take from the timer. you can of course lead this to .....pfff..... little better results, but still not REAL random. 😉

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
