Random value on multiple outs?

[williamjturkel]

I think that sounds very interresting though I can't think deeper at the moment on how this could be integrated into the workflow and like activated and recalled on demand. Maybe having another track recording the random results (as in fill in the type of effects/ratchets etc that have randomly been generated) and kind of overrule the pattern then. Sounds very complicated to me getting this into the current workflow somehow.

I don't have any idea of how the tracker works under the hood, so my mental model may be way off. I am also, no doubt, very influenced by the aesthetics which remind me of my Commodore 64 assembly language days  

What I am thinking of is something like a set of 16 registers, let's call them L0 through LF. So right now if I want a random trigger, I use something like F0 to generate it. I assume that at the moment F0 is generated, it has to be mapped to an actual trigger somehow (say trigger 80 which I believe is 40ms). At that moment, write a copy of the trigger which was selected (trigger 80) to L0. So the register L0 always has a copy of the most recently generated R0, and L8 always has a copy of the most recently generated F8. Elsewhere in my patch, anytime I call L0, I get whatever trigger was generated the last time I called F0. The same kind of system (with different sets of registers) could be used to hold the most recently generated random notes or random mod values.

I'm not sure that would [easily] fit in the NerdSEQ, but Thomas surely is more qualified to judge that.

I've recently come to look at the Droid eco system for a lot of CV manipulation. Among other things there exists a [queue] circuit which implements a clocked shift register of up to 64 cells. I'm about to receive my Droid master. Among the first things I'll try will be seeing if or more precisely how I can combine it with my NerdSEQ. I'm expecting "the power of the two" ™ will be basically unbeatable

I am currently using NerdSEQ with a Sinfonion, so have been very tempted to get into Droid, too. Really looking forward to what you discover.
