    Maybe add „Welcome addition“ to the choices. Those only two are a bit +100/-100 with „stupid“ not exactly being opposite of „necessary“ :smile:

    c) Very useful for generating new ideas

    I love them. I’m not a great sound designer so I Randomize and tweak.

  • lazyasslazyass

    I thoght it was stupid before I tried random in PPG Infinte. Can't live without it now

    Nice to have? They’re neither necessary nor stupid.

    I'm intrigued about that 1 person who thinks they are stupid :lol:

    Voted Necessary. But I'm more for the useful tag

    Great to have for variation in loops but it’s got to be continued and not that you have to press the dice button.

    Drambo has a random module that can be connected pretty much to anything. You set the intensity and it will screw with a value of a knob every once in a while. Quite necessary for humanising stuff and making it sound alive.

    Nice to have, but not required. So, I didn't vote. Randomizers are only as good as implementation. Poor implementation / non-musical results, might as well not have.

    Probably an expert soundsculpter with skills that surpass anything that us mere mortals could ever dream to achieve.

    First feature I look for. Randomize sounds opened a new world off sound design jumping off points for me.

    LOVE IT

  • jolicojolico

    AuV3 synths and fx without randomizers exist. Why???

  • ApexApex

    Every digital synth should have it. Hardware or software.

    I use random all the time, especially when I’m trying to figure a synth out.
    One feature I wish every synth had like Zeenon is a quick FX on/off button, because so many patches are drowning in reverb and delay.

    I’m not one to use the randomiser when one is available, synthesis is what it’s all about for me (making coherent music is far down the list).

    But if one can be made, why not have it. In iVCS3, it’s often amused me that the random button is so random that about 99.9% of the time it’ll be silence. Or at least it was when I tried it many years ago, maybe it’s more sensible now.

    However, I’m now starting to get interested in dynamic random. That’s becoming more interesting to me than in the past, when I wouldn’t allow any stochastic influence that didn’t have my sign-off on it.

    I think an app developer that had not only a random button, but a meta-random button which basically randomly pressed the random button (obviously with an option of gracefully swerving from one random push to another) (or perhaps a meta-meta-randomiser for whether it’s graceful or jarring) (etc).

    +1 for randomization
    I'm not great at sound designing from scratch, but I always like having something to work on, then I tweak it.

    It also reminds me of what I learnt from my "System and Controls" Professor back in school. And I paraphrase, "It is a lot easier to shoot a signal randomly, where it gets close to your target, then use control techniques to fine tune it so that it reaches as close to your intended target. If your original signal is way off, just try again..."

    In the spawn2 menu select the arp box, then spawn some out of this world loops.

    This thing is really amazing.
