Drambo random slices, like Elektron?

mistercharlie

In sample slice mode on the Digitakt and Octatrack, you can hit a button and it assigns a random slice to every trig on the sequencer.

Is there a way to do this in Drambo?

I like this because it just randomizes the existing trigs, and if you like the result you can keep it. If I just use the random option in the Flex Sampler in Drambo, it changes the pattern every time. I would like to do it the Elektron way if possible.

Probably the easiest way is to use the random modulator and assign it to the offset knob

Thanks! But that randomizes it differently every time the sequence repeats. I want to set a few trigs, and have it randomize them once, so I can keep it if I like it. Not just to play random slices.

This works. It's not exactly what I was after, but it gets the job done.

Would this work?

Not for what I'm trying to do, but it's pretty cool!

I’m thinking of ways of doing but everything I can think of requires a pretty big setup.
For example, one with as many random modules as note triggers, all connected to a “random button” gate, all modules connected to a midi switcher that increments the output on every step…. I think your solution is actually quite good!.

That’s was awesome…Ty! I have Drambo, I just don’t have the knowledge of it I would like to have yet.

Thanks! Yes, it seems to be working. It’s not quite as simple as the Elektron way, but on the other hand it’s easier to fine tune it on the fly. The big downside so far is that you can’t “freeze” the pattern into the trigs, which means you cannot have different patterns for different scenes.

I’m not too worried by this, as I like to capture stuff to audio asap (using Loopy Pro on track 8 in Drambo).

Another way might be to use an Audio Unit that generates random sequences, and record that into Drambo’s sequencer.

There's something cooking that might make it into the next bigger Drambo release allowing you to do this and more.

Or use chained shift registers to store randomized values once. Or use Flexis to record and play back pitch and gate signals.
