PURE DATA: 08 Random Numbers

[@soulbassproject]

This video is great! I have just added further randomisation to the example and I now have a big smile on my face. Thanks!

[@squelette20]

I never thought I'd be able to understand this kind of thing someday. Thank you so much !

[@UnrealOrnament]

a really clear, informative video, thanks!

[@cheetomoskeeto]

@09scatto good catch - after 1:34 it is a [tgl] (toggle). that is necessary because [metro] expects a boolean to start/stop it (a 1 or 0).

[@reubenriisager9852]

How do I attach a randomizer to a v-slider on the oscillator??

[@bENahAROni]

when i add a metro object and , lets say i put the arrgument 100 it dosne seems to go as fat as the tutorial shows..[metro 100] i wonder if the reason isthat i use a pc and not a mac?

[@joaquinvegasanchez7868]

Hi! what version of PD are you using? cause objects like "Counter" "randomF" and "tripleRand" doesn't work :s... i have PD-ext version.0.47

[@Sowo7]

youn can find ''counter'' here github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases if you don't have pd extended version.

[@jewfinigan863]

Or just get Purrdata, it has all the things

[@BiddlyMusic]

Is there a way of setting a minimum level for the drunk patch?

[@cheetomoskeeto]

There are a few different ways to do that. I'd use a [moses 1] in combination with [== 1] and bangs

[@bluevioletalien]

Is there a way to do something like [drunk] in pd vanilla?

[@andremadethis]

is randomF exclusive to pd extended? I encounter "couldn't create" errors in pd vanilla.

[@cheetomoskeeto]

Yes. When these were created 11 years ago, [randomF ] was a 3rd party external included with Pd Extended

[@submach1ne]

Is it bad if I skip a video? I didn't feel like downloading the application in the previous video.

[@do00p]

I couldnt get the output of metronome to work as a counter then mod and try to count the measures. My == 8 or ==4 after the mod is not working the bang keeps triggering. Is it checking for type match when I just do == with symbols. The help file works fine. I keep getting an error because after the mod the bang needs to be filter out. I will try to post to my github.com/punkroku/crapExchange in pureData folder

[@dennipeter160294]

What if i wanted random numbers within a range. Say between 50 - 100. ( And not 0 -100) ? How would you do that?

[@cheetomoskeeto]

Dennis Peter generate random number between 0 - 50 and the add 50 to the output

[@LeirgaukThe2nd]

This is really weird, but my Pd Extended (and yes, it IS Extended!) doesn't have a 'drunk' object. Any idea why?

[@muhammadqumail3834]

That is because its in a library which you have to import. It's not there by default (at least in my case), i found it from a simple Google search and imported the library

[@gerardwareham8585]

How would i get PD to make a random choice from a list of numbers?

[@cheetomoskeeto]

You'd store the numbers in an array or table and then choose a random index of the array, thereby getting the number. So, if your array called [mynumbers] had 10 numbers stored in it, you'd use [random 10] along with [tabread mynumbers] to pull a random number from the array of numbers. You can do the same thing with a list using [unpack] and storing the numbers into [int ] objects but it takes much more work to accomplish.

[@gaoyuan5220]

Hi, my pd is unable to create [seed] object. Which library include this object?

[@hungrydave1977]

I think seed is a message

[@manolitosanchez]

Hello and thank you for the video!! =) I wonder, how did you hook Pd to the nice sound engine?

[@BiddlyMusic]

ah yes thank you. also, I can't remember which video you show this on, but I'm trying to work out how to make a patch so that when the toggle is on, it performs a certain function, but when it's off it performs a different function (basically, 1 making the patch do something, and 0 making it do something else). Do you mind referring me to that video or just telling me? :)

[@matiasjl7]

Great video! I need a random number between 2000 and 8000. I don't know how put a range where don't begin from zero. Thanks for all!

[@matiasjl7]

I had to write it to find a solution: [random 6001] > [+ 2000], a simple addition to result :D

[@cheetomoskeeto]

@@matiasjl7 that is indeed the solution.

[@cheetomoskeeto]

offset it through math (so if 0 is the current minimum, add the end result by the desired minimum)

[@macramole]

very useful !!

[@dagamusik]

Fantastic videos! But i have a question. Isn't wrong saying 0 to 50 and 49 to 100 are 50% - 50% probabilities? Doesn't 0 count?

[@cheetomoskeeto]

Correct; it is 51/49.

[@vinayseth1114]

a) What does 'Seed' mean? b) How do I make Random start from a non-zero number?

[@rafaelhernandez2096]

A.) To "seed" a random number is to provide it an input whereby future results are then determined. In a way, it is producing a determined result using whatever algorithm the random number generator is built upon. B.) If you want a random number between X and Y where X is not zero, add an offset after the random object. For example, a random number between 5 and 10 is really a random number between 0 and 5 with an offset of 5 added afterwards.

[@vinayseth1114]

Rafael Hernandez hey thanks!

[@moulinexish]

How do I add an offset?

[@djstevegremixer7489]

Wicked!

[@victormacedo582]

im getting different numbers at minute 02:55 :S, I have followed the right steps, why is this happening?

[@ct2034]

:D

[@nohface7565]

Theory: any observed chaos is automatically ordered to the observers energy and mind.

[@wurnotantmlb]

I seriously can't stand this guy, he never went through the actual pd examples in pd browser itlself...just buying a macosh doesn't makes you a doctor I guess
