Re: Need a Better Randomizer

Sorry zeropoint, I don't think I phrased that properly. I should have said "when the user presses play" regardless of where the playhead is on the clip. That's why I was originally trying to find an LFO tool that retriggered whenever play was pressed.

After some though, I prefer the current option ...

Re: Need a Better Randomizer

Thanks for clarifying zeropoint.

Wow, MIDI mapping really opens up a lot of possibilities! Unfortunately it doesn't quite fit my purpose here, as I need the randomization to occur wherever the playhead is placed in the clip, not just where the MIDI note is. I'll definitely keep that feature in mind ...

Could you just add a note to each clip, the note that triggers the randomisation?
It's meant to work for audio clips, not MIDI ones, so I don't think so? I'm relatively new to music production though, so feel free to let me know if I'm missing something :P

Re: Need a Better Randomizer

Got it! My mistake was I kept fiddling with the min/max values allowed by the LFO tools (which don't seem to work for the kind of randomization I need), but didn't change the allowable values in the macro itself with the 'map' button.

This time, I changed the min/max of the macro mapped to the ...

Re: Need a Better Randomizer


Map the chain selector to a macro. Have each effect chain on a single position (not a range). Set the min / max of the macro to the number of chains you want to randomize.


Sorry, I should have been more clear - I have been mapping the chain selector to a macro, and it's the macro I've been ...

Need a Better Randomizer

Hey folks. I'm trying to randomize an effect applied to an audio clip using an effect rack. I've 30 effects I need to map out on the zone editor, but they have to have an exactly equal chance of being selected - not great when there are 128 options (0 - 127 range). It's important that the effect ...

Well said.

Plus, if you're not interested in doing the voice recording work long term, it would be a shame to lose access to other gigs that ARE more what you are looking to do.
Exactly!

Re: Healthy Competition, or Conflict of Interest?


I guess it depends if you are working within these companies or as an external contractor. It is not uncommon for companies to seek people that are not directly working for competition and it has nothing to do with having enough work to go around really, more about the fact that you would be ...

Healthy Competition, or Conflict of Interest?

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice here:

I collaborate with two recording studios doing an exchange of services, and recently started doing something similar with a third. This third partnership was the most promising by far, because it potentially allowed me to work directly with the ...

Re: Fed Up With Mono Sequencer


Which "MIDI" entry from the drop-down menu are you using (it's the top right-hand side button)?


It's set to 'Transpose and Gate'. I'm not familiar enough with the software to understand what that means, but someone on another forum suggested that setting might stop the issue. It didn't ...

Re: Fed Up With Mono Sequencer


If you are automating device on/off, you may be getting hung notes that never received a proper "note off" from mono sequencer since the device may be disabled before sending the note off.

Thanks Jon, but the issue started before I automated the on/off - it's actually the only thing that seems ...

Re: Fed Up With Mono Sequencer

Hi jur,

No stupid questions here :) The only thing I have automated for the mono sequencer is the on/off device and the pattern. Tbh though, I don't know what controls would even allow the sequencer to play notes when there is no note input. Wondering if this could be a broader compatibility issue ...

Fed Up With Mono Sequencer

Hi folks,

I've been struggling with the mono sequencer for months now, and have found it to be an incredibly flaky piece of software. I regularly have issues with:
1. Most common: Notes playing endlessly, BEFORE reaching the MIDI clip they are supposed to play, or continuing to play the last ...

How to stop Analog synth kick from oscillating?

Hi folks, I posted this one on GearSlutz, but we never really resolved the issue unfortunately, and recently it's become even more of an issue. Hope you can help out a new producer like myself!
