How can I add a randomize button?

skOre · 2 Aug 2006

Make a random number generator that puts out numbers between 0 and 1. Make a bus with as many inputs as you have controls on top level, send with with a wireless out. Make a receive within the internals of each knob that connects to the "Set" input if the drag/whatever component (don't forget a float switch) (and a bus extract). Come up with a good mechanism that each knob has gets his personal number and connect that with the String input of the bus extract within that knob.

Here's a way so that you don't have to alter any of your controls.

randomThruCC.osm

It works by using the CC control feature built-in with stock SM controls.

Directions...

1) Add the 'random settings' module so that it is above all the controls in the schematic.

2) Set each control to accept MIDI CC and assign a unique control number to each one (following the MIDI CC guidlines if possible so that your synth can play nice with MIDI controllers).

That's it... the best part is Stefan and Malc did all the hard work in setting up the CC and preset modules inside the controls.

EDIT - The psudo-random number generator is Sam's and I haven't given it any thought on how to get a different sequence each time it loads.
