A way to randomize all synth parameters in the patch editor to quickly find a starting point or ideas for patches

### What is the problem?

Currently you can only init a new patch and then have go to town and create your own patch, which is perfectly fine.

### What should this feature achieve?

Add a randomize function in the synth editor, that allows users to quickly create random patches to explore and to edit further.

### Are there any workarounds?

No

### Any links to related discussions?

–

### Any references to other products?

Many other synths offer a randomization option.

Indeed. But i’ve taken the liberty to fill it out for them.

Actually, i should have had a look first. 🤦‍♂️  
There is already a wish for this:

> [@Randomise function for synth patch edit](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/randomise-function-for-synth-patch-edit/7381):
>
> 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. …

I’ll close this as a duplicate. Go vote on the existing wish!
