When starting exported exe application or SM with schematic (not only reloading the schematic, but restarting SM) - first value produced by triggered "rand" is always the same. Hopefully Rand is not repeatable when producing next triggered values? Would be problematic with mor erands in schematic.

//update:

It looks, that Rand primitive works correclty, but needs proper wiring. I asked malc about this issue, and he sent me an explanation with example below. Solution is simple - time based seed must be triggered externally, once, after load - to activate the stream.

Aaah, so not; "leave the Seed input unconnected and the component will seed itself", as it says in the official Component Reference! 😮

Thanks for letting us know 🙂 - another one of SM's little 'mysteries' is solved!

    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.
