Math.randInt

[MikeB]

Good morning all you developers of fascinating plug-ins -
I haven't started yet and I'm still in a good mood :-)

I would like to have a problem, as we say here.

I would like to use Math.randInt so that it only randomises between 2 values.
One value is 0 and the other 99.
So either 0 or 99.

@MikeB something like

var myValue = 0;
var chance = Math.random();

if (chance > .5) 
    myValue = 99;
else
    myValue = 0;

@iamlamprey Thank you - you are the man of the morning. :-)

However, I need to transfer this to a slider pack.
So I need two values or vars - right?

SliderPack3.setSliderAtIndex(i, Math.randInt(0, 99));

@MikeB If that's a for loop for each slider in the sliderpack, the code I posted above should still work.

var chance; //use reg if it's during playback stuff

for (i=0; i<sliderpacklength; i++) 
{
    chance = Math.random();
    if (chance > .5)
        SliderPack3.setSliderAtIndex(i, 99);
    else
        SliderPack3.setSliderAtIndex(i, 0); 
}

@iamlamprey
Now you have become the man of the day :-)

Thank you very much.

@MikeB Oh also if it's in a loop you can use local variables :)

[MikeB]

@iamlamprey I have done this - thank you

You can also do it like this:

Math.randInt(0, 2) * 99);

(Note that the second argument is the exclusive limit of the range so for 0..1 you have to specify 2 as upper limit).

@Christoph-Hart
or so :-)
I will try it out - thanks

[MikeB]

@Christoph-Hart It worked. Thank you.

Now all I need for a successful Sunday is an Arp Start/Stop button that works independently of Note On/Off.

Or a way to give a Note On/Off callback when a preset is called.
