pick random sample

Hi. I am new to reactor and I am trying to build a sampler with a few twists. I am using the memory drum ensemble and modifying it. Is there any way to randomly select a sample from the sample pool upon receiving a midi note?
How would i go about building that?
Im guessing i somehow can access the sampleppol and then have a sample/hold thingie to be activated once a midi event is received. Then if s/h output=3 - sample nr 3 would be chosen. If s/h =5, samples nr 5 would be chosen… or maybe there is some completely different way to do this.
Thanks a lot!

 

just use the randomize module. you give it a value and a range - you could give a value of 0.5, a range of 0.5, and multiply the output by 127 to get a value between 0 and 127.

 

Thanks. I just have to locate where in the world the actual menu for selecting samples is located you wouldn't happen to know the memory drum module by chance? I'll have another look tomorrow and see if I can figure it out.
Thanks again

 

most of the sampling modules have a 'Sel' input. the ones that don't control the sample using the 'P' input.

 

Thanks i located where to "hack" the sampler, but i don't really follow your logic with "value" and "range".. Could you please explain?
thanks a ton

 

The primary randomizer module sends an event when it receives a value. If you set the range as 0.5, then send it a value of 0.5, it will output a value of 0.5 +/- 0.5. So between 0 and 1. Multiply that random value by 127, and if necessary use the quantize module to produce an integer between 0 and 127.

Similarly, you can add and subtract, or multiply by a smaller number to produce a particular range of random values.

 

mehhh… sorry, I'm dumb.
Lets get practical.
This is the original:


if i modify it to this:

And just control it with a knob and set the knob range to 35-40 (my samples are located from keys 35-40) i can successfully select between samples by rotating the knob.

I want to rotate between those values… have a lower and an upper range (35-40). so each time i press, say C1 it will randomly pick one of the 5 samples and play that..

Sorry for being and idiot, but where do i go from here?
Thanks again

 

Ah! I got it working! Thanks a lot

 

Ok… Now lets say that i want to eliminate the option to trigger the same sample twice?
I imagine something like this: Sample the value of the output of the random generator(generated upon key pressed). Check that value against a new randomly generated value (key pressed again). If former and new value are equal=+1 to the newest sample. How do i do that with the modules? thanks again!
