Make Next Note Random

[Karlo]

How do I make my next note random but have it quantized to the scale set in my table?

Note is C-1 in my CV column row 1 (that's it, lol), I have pitch 040 in FX column 3 followed by RDMN 003 and it doesn't change the pitch ever. 

What am I doing wrong or how do I make this work?

Thanks in advance.

Pitch is probably not the function you should use since this is for fine pitch. Something you want to use if you don't want to be in scale.

Also the FX random functions won't work as you use them:
FX are processed from low to high. So if you use the command RDMN (Random Next FX) you would need to set it before the pitch command.
Like on FX1 you set the random command for FX2, then FX2 where you put the pitch would be randomized. But here it won't be in scale but free 'fine'-pitches. Also if you use the stable version it will be random without any ranges or limits. The new coming version and current release candidated you can set also ranges for the random functions.

In your case, I would just go with the table. Have a 1 shot table, set the stop in the HOP on row 01 use the RND in the transpose setting on row 00. Choose the range (based on the basenote = C-1 in your case) you want the notes to be.
Select the allowed notes or choose one of the preset chords. And set quantize to up, down or coin.

This will give you a random note for this step within the scale you selected.
In the new version there is another random command specially for notes to create random notes. But for scaling the tables will still be needed.

Hmmm. I still can't get this to work. 

My table:

FX Column, row 00: RDMN0000
Hop column, Row 01: **

TYPE > ONCE
RANGE 00 > +02

QUANTIZE: COIN
SET CHORD: C MAJ 

Nothing happens. Help!

Okay...

In my pattern:

Row00, FX2: BASE000

My table:

FX Column, row 00: RDMN0002
Hop column, Row 01: **

TYPE > ONCE
RANGE 00 > +02

QUANTIZE: COIN
SET CHORD: C MAJ 


It changes the notes, but it keeps playing B7 on my oscillator... which isn't in the ALLOW NOTES with the C Maj. I think B7 is where my digital oscillator tops out. How can I limit the range of the random?

How do the values in the RANGE work? What does +1 equal? a semitone?

edit:
Dudes, I'm really stupid, can somebody just spell this out for me in as clear as a way possible? I'm really struggling.

another edit:
MY DUDE - I have to hit shift delete in the transpose column of my Table to get it to randomly select a new note! Why didn't you just say that? All is good!

Oh yeah. I was wondering why you used the RDMN0002 command from the tables. It doesn't do a note change anyway and even doesn't work on the table but for the regular pattern.

SHIFT+DELETE indeed as a shortcut or right after 7F.

Yup! I had this thing rocking last night... still super under utilized. Lots of power to harness in NerdSEQ.
