Random parameter value on trigger.

Post by UnderTake » Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:40 pm

Hi,
I am trying to set up random parameter value modulation on trigger.

Lets say I am using simpler and I want random drive value when I trigger the sound and stays constant until my next trigger.

My first attempt was with LFO set to random shape and Midi envelope mapped to LFO re-trigger button.
But the problem with LFO random shape is that it always starts at the same value when retrigered.

In other word I want to modulate any parameter just like simplers LFO does when set to Retriger and shape is set to sample and hold .
In this way every new trigger will generate random value.

Please let me know if you know how to do it
Thanks

Do you have Live Suite? I found this free Max 4 Live device that has a free running mode, I have not tried it myself however.

Thank you, this one seems interesting I will try it out.

I just found something that does exactly what I was looking for https://maxforlive.com/library/device/6 ... e-and-hold

But I am still keen to find way to do it with ableton native devices.
