AudioDice: VST Host for Parameter Randomization

AudioDice is a specialized VST host designed for the controlled randomization of third-party plugin parameters. It allows users to target specific parameters with precision, making it a reliable tool for sound design and professional audio production.

Sturdy Development

The tool was developed by Marcel Huibers, a music producer and audio post-production professional with decades of experience in sound design and movie mixing. AudioDice was engineered for stability, ensuring it remains reliable when managing plugins with thousands of exposed parameters.

Technical Specifications

The software was hand-coded in C++ with an emphasis on architectural integrity and low CPU overhead. It is designed to work in mission-critical professional environments where stability is a requirement.

Key Features:

• Parameter Control: Adjust the randomization width (±100%) and specific range for individual parameters.
• Knob Mode: Enable parameters for randomization by moving the control on the hosted plugin's UI.
• Undo/Redo: A comprehensive state-management system to navigate your randomization history.
• FX and Instrument Modes: Operates as both a VST/AU effect and a virtual instrument.
• Scalability: Designed to handle complex modern plugins with a high number of parameters.
• Free to Use: Completely free with no registration or hidden costs.

Operation:

1. Load AudioDice as a plugin in your DAW.
2. Load a VST effect/instrument into AudioDice.
3. Select parameters or use Knob Mode to target controls.
4. Set the width and range of the randomization.
5. Use the randomization engine to iterate on settings.
