Being able to randomise the synth patch edit screen, as a start point for new patch generation would be really good. a key combo randomises all synth parameters, you can undo or randomise again. then edit & save. ### What is the problem? a tool like randomise when editing a patch from scratch can be a great tool to aid creativity. ### What do you want to achieve? a randomise page function for synth patch edit screen. randomise patch - undo - randomise again - save. kind of thing. then edit to taste. ### Are there any workarounds? no ### Any links to related discussions? ### Any references to other products? elektron gear has page randomise function “page + yes”. its so good for synthesis. brings you in directions you wouldn’t have gone otherwise. ---

The Volca FM2 also generates randomized Patches. They are based on the selected patch so the generatet patch will be similar but different. I think that function would perfectly fit to the simplifyed conept of the Play ---

I am really missing a randomised init patch and functionality to create random variations of existing patches on the tracker mini as it is a little cumbersome to do sound design on it. ---

This is something i really loved about my Clavia Nord Lead A1, you hitted random 5 times and then you are at a interest point of the Sound design. ---

You should check out the amount of customization you can get on the ASM Hydrasynth in regards to randomization. You can randomize the entire patch with a % of how much it impacts each module, randomize per Module (Oscillator, Filter, LFO, etc), randomize any parameter. Random patch selection, and randomize modules from other patches. Crazy amount of fun!! ---

sounds delightful 🙂 yea i love that sh1t. I randomise fm patches on my m8 all the time for inspiration, then tweak to taste. same on my elektrons with the randomise page function. lovely stuff. ---

I would love to do this… similar to other companies who allow to randomize synth settings based on a page. ---

The polyend synth needs a tag in this as well and this feature! ---

Tagged Synth as it makes sense. I’m pretty confident that anything of this general capacity would be made available to all the products sharing the same synth engine. ---

Guess my wish could go here too > [@Randomizer / Blender for Polyend Synth](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/randomizer-blender-for-polyend-synth/16497): > > What is the problem? Randomizer / Blender - Give us option to randomize parameters in each synth engine to come up with a new sound. Giving us the option to use how much of each parameter would be best. Like a randomizer matrix page, kinda like how hydrasynth does where it allows us to put whatever amount we want in for each parameter before being randomized. The Blender option would be like the boss sy-300 where you can randomize and blend any 3 synth / preset sounds together to come up with … ---

Yeah I came across your feature request while moderating this one. As this is more asking for an arbitrary random patch function, I prefer to keep those separate from those that get more into the details of the implementation. Don’t get me wrong; As a Hydrasynth owner, I would love the same ability to apply degrees of randomization between each modules, but that still is a different request in comparison to a simple randomize patch function. ---

I would be happy with either way to randomize! ---

yea same. I initially made this wish due to the play+ patch editing UI being a list of parameters that isn’t the most fun to edit. tbh what play+ really should have imo is a similar patch edit UI to what polyend Synth ™️ has. then randomising pages would be a better wish. ---

I love a randomiser. Most times you get a terrible unusable sound but every now and again you get something special that baffles you to how it was created. This would be a great feature ---

A randomizer is a handy feature. Maybe also the ability to state what type of sound you want. (pad, drone, bass, etc). Maybe look at the hydrasynth randomizer. I thought the hydrasynth has a randomizer where you can say which parameters are fixed.
