Hi Nyyki, That's an interesting scenario you have there.
If it were me, I'd program my synth to do it. I don't know if you can do this with your equipment: Set a random stepping LFO and hook it to the sound, tempo-sync'd. The other way I'd simulate it in QWS would be to manually enter some random values for a certain number of beats, not linked to the time signature, so say you're in 4/4 time, I might do, say, 37 beats (or some other weird number). Then just copy. Because the length of your bass line isn't the same as the length of your "random" pattern, it'll probably be OK. I do have it noted the suggestion to have random values in the Progression tool. I hope this gives some possible ideas. God bless, James. ----Original Message---- From: [email protected] Date: 19/08/2018 4:11 To: "QWS list"<[email protected]> Subj: QWS List External Raw MIDI Data 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?
