Randomization ideas

rthr

Hi crew!

I was thinking about granular sound options. For example for using variations of one instrument (e.g. different kicks, snares, hats) or totally random sounds. Does something like the following make sense?

One could prepare a loop with different sounds in set intervals and set the interval (e.g. 4 seconds) in the clip properties. Loopy would then randomly (or sequentially for that matter) pick sounds from the loop and stop playing when the sound stops or after the interval. An option to not stop playing for creating glitchy breakbeats would be nice too. In this case the 'play head' would simply jump around after a set interval.

A totally fancy version of this would be an option where Loopy finds the sounds inside a loop (separated by silent breaks) and assign start and stop markers automagically. This would allow for sounds of different lengths.

What do you think? 🤔

I sometimes use a step sequencer set to its randomize mode to drive loopy as a grain machine or regroovifier

Sounds like a cool idea though. Would you mind sketching it out at roadmap.loopypro.com so we don’t lose it?

Sure. Last night I also thought about mapping it to velocity which would enable multisamples / velocity switching. Or glitching of course.

Yeah. That's cool too... 😎
