MIDI Generator Random

Generates a random MIDI message (any message type) in a specified range.

Settings

on

Activates or deactivates the module.

midi out

MIDI output flow(s).

min

Minimum value of the output.

max

Maximum value of the output.

interval

Time interval (in ms) between two generated data's.

Only in sync mode = interval.

large

In ms, generation curve width (sharpness).

  • For large values it creates random numbers very close to each other.
  • For small values, it creates random numbers very distant from each other.

distribution

Sets the distribution curve for the random generator.

  • = 1.0 : uniform in the range [min..max]
  • < 1.0 : more low values (min)
  • > 1.0 : more high values (min)

curve

  • Continuous: the random flow evolves in a continuous way.
  • Steps: Flow evolves step by step according to the interval parameter.

synchro

Synchronization options which determines the way the object is triggered, or the sequence is played.

Generally the following options are available:

  • button: when the button play receives a 1 trigger,
  • interval: according the interval fader,
  • duration: according the duration fader,
  • loop: the sequence is played in a loop mode,
  • cycle: each beginning cycle,
  • bar: each beginning bar,
  • beat: each beat,
  • 8th: each 1/8th,
  • etc.

trigger in

Generates a new random value.

Only in synchro = trigger input.

no repeat

Avoids repeated MIDI notes.

Only affects the MIDI out.

trigger out

Sends 1 each time a new random value is generated.

repeat size

Repeat the last N random values.
With this option you can create loops of random values.

If repeat size = 0 then a new value is generated each time (no repetition or loop).

Values are stored in the set array.

set array

Array witch contains the set of values used to generate random data's.

The inlet can be connected from an external random generator.

The values must be in the range [0..1], so the output is calculated as: out := min+ array_value *(max-min)

If its size is 0 a uniform random generator is used.

Use [Ctrl+Click] to clear this array.

channel

Channel of the MIDI message.

msg

Type of the MIDI message.

Common Settings

info

show manual

Button. Opens the manual page of the selected object (or of its parent module for a control) in the web browser. If no page exists for this object, an error is traced in the trace panel.

For more details about information/help creation, see create-help-file.

description

Free multi-line text attached to the module, saved with the patch. It is only meant as an internal note for the patch designer: it is not displayed in the interface.

ID's

visible only in god mode, see setup-panel-tab-expert.

unique ID

Read-only, not saved. Current private numeric ID of the object, used internally to identify it (for example as the target of a bind ID).

preset ID

Read-only, not saved. Private ID used to store and recall the values of this control in presets.

recreate ID

Button. Generates a new unique ID, original ID and preset ID for the object. Use it if you experience difficulties in Polyphonic mode or if two objects share the same ID. Preset values and binds referring to the old IDs are lost.

Object Remote Address

absolute

Read-only, not saved. Absolute address of the object in the Usine objects tree, built from the workspace root. This is the address to use to reach the object from scripts, the objects panel or remote messages. Only shown for objects that are registered in the objects list. See objects-address.

local

Read-only, not saved. Address of the object relative to the current patch, valid inside that patch only. See objects-address.

user addr

Free user-defined address for the object (empty by default). When set, the object is also registered in the objects tree under this name, so it can be reached independently of its position in the workspace (the value is also reported in the mouse-over and mouse-down chunks). Changing it rebuilds the objects list. Only available on objects that support a user address. See objects-address.
