Random Voltage2
Random Voltage2 puts out a fresh random value every time its trigger input rises. It’s under Special in the Module Browser, and replaces the Old-category Random Voltage.
Inputs
Section titled “Inputs”| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger in | Bool | A new random value is generated on each rising edge |
Outputs
Section titled “Outputs”| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Control | The current random value, held until the next trigger |
Wire Trigger in from a MIDI-CV 2’s Trigger output and every note gets its own random value — the standard way to add analogue-style variation to a patch. Route the output at a small depth into an oscillator’s Pitch for subtle detune per note, into a filter’s cutoff for a different tone colour each time, or into a VCA for varying accent.
The output is a control-rate value rather than an audio-rate signal: it changes only when triggered, and stays flat in between. Where the old module put out an audio-rate signal, this one does not, which is what lets downstream modules treat it as static and sleep — see Optimizing CPU.
For a random value that is captured from another signal rather than generated, see Sample and Hold2.
