Random
random · v1Creates deterministic random modulation from −1 to 1 at the Rate update frequency.

Select a port to see its purpose and an example connection. Its reference row will highlight.
Ports and connections
| Port / ID | Type | Connection |
|---|---|---|
Raterate | number | Controls Rate with a number stream. Without a wire, the manual value is 1 Hz.Manual value when disconnected |
Smoothsmooth | number | Controls Smooth with a number stream. Without a wire, the manual value is 0.Manual value when disconnected |
Resetreset | gate | An off-to-on Gate transition restarts the generator.Optional |
Outputout | number | The number result of Random, available to other nodes on every sample.Output |
An output can feed multiple inputs of the same type. An input has one source; Function also requires matching signatures. All connection rules →
Parameters
Values describe manual settings. A connected stream replaces a parameter’s manual value; disconnecting restores it.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
Raterate | 0.01…100 Hz | 1 Hz | Input or manualLogarithmic scale |
Smoothsmooth | 0…1 | 0 | Input or manualLinear scale |
Seedseed | 0…2147483647 | 1 | StaticLinear scale |
How to use it
Random → Map Range (−1…1 → 300…3000) → EQ Band / Frequency. Smooth softens the transitions.
Things to check
Seed fixes the local sequence; Reset starts it again. This is a Number control source, not audio noise.
Check required inputs and matching types. Run Compile before auditioning; a validation failure preserves the previous working module. Troubleshooting →
