This may get a bit too esoteric for some folks, but I'm going to try to keep it simple enough to make it comprehensible. QWS doesn't have a random function for generating events. This is something not often needed, but here's a place where I'd like to use one. I've got a tune with a bassline consisting of three synth bass sounds. The main one is the basic sound, what will always be there. The other two are more complex sounds, with more filter or a more interesting waveform. I want to be able to set a threshold for these sounds, say for instance CC7 with a value of zero to ninety five, then generate a random variation in this controller data so each beat has a different level of these additional sounds. This should create a sound that is always clear, but with some interesting changes. But QWS doesn't have a randomizer in it. I can generate the numbers -- go to Excel, create a randbetween command and duplicate it as many times as I need to create enough random values. I can even convert it to another format if needed -- the Hex and Bin commands do that easily enough. With a little more fiddling around I can turn this into the MIDI data I need. But then I'm stuck, as I know of no way to drop raw MIDI data into QWS. I don't want to have to go to all the trouble to hand build a standard MIDI file to do this, as that seems like a lot of work if there's an easier way to make this happen. Any ideas?
