NOTES
7.9 Randomize
Randomize sets the strength, in % of a parameter application by range. It is
important to note that this range is not a range of steps but is the range of
the applied parameter value. A random value is applied within a range that
can add variation and even transform entire arrangements and patterns.
Randomize operates differently to the conventions of most other
parameters. It is not normally set as a ‘work step’ but is applied when a step
or track is selected for editing and is applied as a global setting. Randomize
is not applied to individual steps. Randomization, unless manually saved is
applied on a temporary basis.
Two important, unique and pre-requisite conditions must be considered
when using Randomize for it to operate;
1. The Randomize page must be in focus / displayed. Exiting the
Randomize page will deactivate the randomize feature.
2. A Step must be selected i.e. pad held / track selected where the
Randomization will be applied.
The randomization can then be printed / saved to a track using [Save]. The
randomization is then retained when switching to other parameters.
To reset the randomisation and write a new set of random values, use
[Shift] + [Save]. The new, temporary randomization values can also be
saved if required.
