Is this random generator even possible?

I'm wondering if it is possible to make a random source to control a sequencer which will select the active step without repeating any until all steps have been used. Say you have 8 steps... they will play out of order until all steps have been used only once, and then a new order will be randomly generated for the next cycle.

 

You could adapt David Morris's tone row generator to generate your required number of beats, then retrigger it when the last one plays.

It will take a bit of work to mod it but the logic you want to use is in there.

 

i think somebody already made this... i can't remember who or where though. i'd search both the forums and the UL before trying too hard.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Maybe with this http://co.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=userlibrary&type=0&ulbr=1&plview=detail&patchid=2798

 

Oh man! I downloaded that macro ages ago and completely forgot about it. Boy is that useful. Thanks for putting it on my radar again.

 

Cool, check out his Notron clone.. love that thing.
I was a big user of this
http://www.dspaudio.com/but not on Mac anymore

There were some other max inspired objects floating around, such as the "line" object from Itay Cohen
http://co.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=userlibrary&type=0&ulbr=1&plview=detail&patchid=11702 but when I try to DL now it says the files are invalid.
I have them elsewhere but for new users that might want to DL them..?

Also, you have to enter "Itay Cohen" into the search box as clicking on his highlighted name doesn't bring up all of his uploads..same for many others + I can't post a link to the builder.
Just pointing out that the UL is jacked for the gajillionth time in the hopes that someone at NI will finally notice!

 

ehdyn and ~Pd~,

Thanks for your suggestions, those two (Kimdom and ToneMetal) seem to be what I'm looking for. I'm a bit baffled by the "Line" module though... but nevermind

I was going to mention another sequencer I'm trying to make in these comments, but I should probably start another thread as it is a bit off-topic from "random generator". Keep and eye out and let me know if you have any thought on this. The post will likely have "rotating" or "MAM SQ-16" in the title
