I was wishing that Geodesics’ IONS had an input to randomize the step values. Better yet, individual step values. But it doesn’t, so I made this.
The SG16 expansion triggers which of the S&H 8 outputs gets a new random value, as generated internally by S&H 8.
OFFSET scales them to 10%, and CV-MAP passes them to the 15 steps in IONS.
Two problems that still inconvenience me:
-
I cannot figure out how to zero out the S&H 8 modules other than by right-clicking on them to initialize them, or else by using a burst generator and several other modules (including Sapphire’s MOOT) to quickly step through and set them to zeros.
-
CV-MAP does not remember the mappings when saved as a selection and later reloaded, so you have to click through and remap it to the 15 steps in IONS. They do survive when you save the patch though.
IONS randomized by CV-MAP.vcvs (14.2 KB)
I have a few other variations, including one that will also gradually de-randomized IONS, but it takes up a lot of real estate and looks messy. It needs work.
[edit] It just occurred to me that better use of polyphonic triggers and random value generators might give me a much more elegant and flexible patch, and an easier way to gradually (or immediately) de-randomize all the steps in IONS.
Now I gotta work on that. Real soon.
[second edit] I just noticed @Alphagem-O’s reference to STRIP++, and went •forehead_smack• - that’s how I fix the mapping preservation issue.
