Cant find a controll for random value on keypress
Cant find a controll for random value on keypress
I cant believe i cant find this controll anywhere so it makes me think it cant easily be done with M4L.
I cant think why there is not a native version.
Id like a mappable controller that ouputs a random value when a note is pressed. I know there are random LFOs and such but what if you only want a random value for each key press? For example randomise a parameter of the VST, amount of audio effect, or which chain to choose. Here is to hoping that something like this exists and i just havent looked good enough.
Also id love to hear the M4L experts if there is a technical reason why this is not common or if im maybe alone in thinking it would be usefull?

Ive tried with the expressions control. I guess you are thinking about using the velocity? And map it to what "random" parameter? Is that another control?

No. Still on 10. Is it possible in 11?

Yes. It’s been added to L11’s Expression Control.
Doable in L10 and M4L, though, I did make a device for this purpose somewhere. I bet there are free devices available on maxforlive.com that do just this.

I have looked everywhere but can't find one that doesn't add other bad consequences cause you need to use it in a way it wasn't ment to.chapelier fou wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 6:33 pmYes. It’s been added to L11’s Expression Control.
