Decide Object with adjustable probability

Sym — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:49:11 +0000

Hey, I’m looking for an object or a simple combination that acts like the decide object and outputs 1 or 0 randomly at a bang input. What I want to achieve is for example to say that the chance is 80% that a 1 is the output.

I’m sure there’s a simple solution but currently I’m stuck.

Thanks for your help!

Maybe TMI, but here ya go: A simple probabilistic decision

Also, here’s a “gamble” abstraction, to “play the odds” (from the Max 2.0 tutorials).

Pretty much the same as Andrew’s with less resolution.

sorry i did not look at it in the hurry of waking up, but you’re right. though this cropped resolution thing seems nonsense to me.
