Random Object / ggate
Alright, so here's the gist of what I'm working with...
[random 15]
|
[ggate] (with 15 outs)
|
15 different buffers
Okay, I'm using the [random 15] to fire off a number to select a random output. I'm sending bangs through the ggate to trigger 1 of 15 different buffers. That's all working fine and dandy like I planned.
Now I'm trying to make it to where the range is adjustable. As of right now I can adjust the range of the [random] via the right inlet. Doing this only lowers the max number. (Instead of it ranging from 1-15, it will lower to 1-14, or 1-13, and so on.) But what I want to do is raise the minimum number too. So the range could be adjusted to 2-12, 4-9, 3-7, or whatever. I know you can offset the [random 15] by adding to the output but my issue with doing it this way is, any number that comes out that is over 15, will be shaved off into a 15. Which results in way more 15's being outputted.
Does anybody know a way to adjust the minimum and maximum numbers without this happening?
Also is there away to turn off one of the outputs of the ggate? For example, if I don't want it to output to the 3rd slot, but still output to the others.
Thanks everybody.
There are surely more elegant ways to achive what you want but maybe this keeps you going:
O S,
Perfect. This was actually very close to what I was going for. Had to do a little bit of tweaking but it helped me out a lot and now it's just the way I want it. Thanks!
By doubleclicking the [table] you get a visual feedback of your randomness..
hth
ole
O S,
Very cool. Nice visual touch. Would you happen to know how to exclude numbers? For example, if the range is 1-14, but I don't want it to fire off the number 2.
Right now I've managed to set it up to where I can mute the buffers that are triggered which works fine, but the issue with doing this is that when the [random] fires off the number to trigger the muted buffer, obviously there's just empty space. I'm trying to find a way to tell the [random] to just skip over certain numbers.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
you have to make the list of numbers manually..maybe that is not what you are after?
O S,
Close. I think with this I may be able to figure it out. Thanks!
