You could try this approach(I also attached a patch with it): 48 = 4 * 10 + 1 * 8
so you use n1=random(10) n2 = 10 - n1 n3 = random(10) n4 = 10-n3 . . n9 = random(8) n10 = 8 - n9 On 03.03.2011 02:20, Caio Barros wrote: > Hey guys, long time since I posted here. > I've been trying to think a way to divide a number into random parts. > Let me explain myself better: > I'm writing a piece where I want 10 chords played during 48 seconds but the > duration of each chord should be different. > So I'm trying to figure out a way to divide 48 into 10 unequal parts, I think > using random numbers should be the best way but the difficulty is to get 10 > random numbers wich summed give 48. > Since I'm not expert at math maybe someone can help me. > I want to do this operation with other numbers, therefore a pd patch would be > great. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
