randomizing multiple values
Feb 02 2020 | 2:42 am
Say I have many (anywhere from 5 to 100) live.number, live.dial and live.menu objects in a patcher. In the case of the live.number and live.dial objects, they each have different ranges; some might be 0-64, others 0-100, or 0-127, or even -127-127. In the case of the live.menu, they are all likely to have different numbers of choices.
I'd like to randomize each of those objects.
My question: is there some programmatic way I could randomize each, without having to manually go into my patch and create separate random objects, each of which would have the correct range to apply to each individual object?
- Feb 02 2020 | 2:57 amActually, this thread gave me an idea to try, using "rawfloat" and a range of 0. to 1. https://cycling74.com/forums/trying-to-randomize-live%C2%B7dial-with-random-values-scaled-to-match-the-range-of-the-dial
- Feb 02 2020 | 4:46 pmthats the main issue with all this live dot stuff... you are no longer forced to use a range of 0. - 1. at least anywhere near your interface elements. if you would, you could easily solve this using vexpr.
- Feb 02 2020 | 5:10 pmYes, that's what I realized after messing with this last night - though the rawfloat message with a random value from 0. to 1. does work, it doesn't help in my particular use case, as I need to have the actual value that will result from the live.XXX interface element, and I can't just read what it's output will be after setting it, as I'll be just set'ing the value...
