Urn/Random sending multiple outputs
Dec 01 2009 | 5:07 pm
Hi there,
I'm a newbie to Max MSP and im having to learn it in 2 weeks for a project for my course.
One question i have is about Urn/Random.
So far, i have 8 Randoms creating random numbers between 1 and 8. I could end up with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or i could end up with 1,1,1,3,5,5,7,7.
I don't want duplicates, i would just like 1-8 to be represented in different random orders. I understand i could use Urn for this, but using 8 Urns instead of Random would still give me duplicates. Is there any way for Urn/Random to output 8 integers to my number boxes with no duplicates each time?
Thanks in advance! Hope someone can help :)

Since you appear to want a list, perhaps you should look at the zl object - particularly in its guise as the zl group object.

My project is involving the playback of musical scales with notation, with the ability to record and compare a user's input from a microphone (sing star style). You just saved me one big headache!

- Jan 05 2010 | 9:30 pmzl scramble... nice new addition!
