Continuous Randomization

Post by mkell424 » Fri Aug 02, 2024 9:52 pm

Hello all. I was wondering about a great VST, standalone, or MAX plugin for live note randomization, that is also cheap. Basically, I want to take a series of notes or chords and continuously randomize them, and then record the notes on a separate track, preferably in real time. As far as I know, the probability pack can’t do this(but I could be wrong).Is there a lway of doing this with another plugin? Thank you.

Thanks for answering but I already tried that. Randomizer creates a lot of empty pauses because it only goes up/down at least one octive. I’ve got a melodic phrase that’s only 6 notes.

That's not true. It can go the full range. The Choices and Interval work together. You should definitely take 10 minutes to explore it (the Info panel is your friend).
And don't forget that you can put instances in series (and with other Midi fx devices too).

Really, what you're trying to achieve is a very simple to do for Live using its builtin midi devices. Explore, you'll enjoy I'm sure.
