Triggering Randomization

[SmartCat]

Hi,

is clicking on Randomization the only way to use this function?

I mean, I don´t want to randomize settings in Melda plugins only when I press "Random" with the mouse, this is very limiting.
What I´m looking for is a way to activate randomization everytime a midi note is played.
I tried the modulators but it´s not possible to modulate the "Random" button.

I can´t even find this parameter in my Cubase automation track to at least be able to automate randomization.

Any ideas?

Short answer is NO. The randomize is not a modulatable or automatable target.

There are however other ways to achieve a very similar result.
Which plugin are you using?

Well, this is a general question / issue. I´m using a lot of the Melda effects.
Please let me know if there is a workaround.

I can´t believe that there is no other way to use the Random feature than clicking on it with the mouse...

It's possible but would take some setup. Look for a post I made earlier this week about randomisation. You'd might need to change it to be midi triggered and set up all the parameters, which would take time.

I saw your post, thanks. But this is not the same. I need to trigger the global randomization, not only for specific parameters.

I'll give you the fast/short version, then I will go into more detail when I get time tomorrow.
1. So basically learn all of the parameters with a multiparameter. Put the MP in banks mode select 128 banks and make sure to leave interpolate on. EDIT: CLICK RANDOMIZE BUTTON IN EACH BANK
2. Now learn the MP with a modulator. Set it's speed slow, like 0.02hz, set to triangle.
3. Open up a new MP and change it to trigger mode. Open the list of modulatable parameters and select the modulators enable. Be sure to set full min and max values.

Done. Now you have a button that whenever is clicked will move the parameters to a random position (not completely random but there will be about 12,800 possibilities)
