WOW. Just bought Rando. Professional music producer of 20+ years, and this is simply game-changing for my workflow. I was hitting one of those very low stages, and feeling uninspired, with thoughts of quitting. No joke, after playing with Rando for an hour and seeing what it’s capable of, I was jumping around, thanking god for this gift 😂. Absolute game-changer for me! THANK YOU 🙏🏼 I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on software over the years, not to use most of it. I can already tell that I’ll be using Rando in every session from now on, it’s exactly what I was looking for and more. Much respect. 💎

[@monkeyc_audio]

Wow!!! This makes us insanely proud!!! What a great story! Update 1.3 dropping tomorrow for even more fun!!!

[@isomatic]

I’ve been a huge proponent of building your own massive sample library on a multi-terabyte drive, effectively creating your own version of Splice. With all the sample pack bundle deals and free samples out there plus making your own, it’s very attainable to do. This Rando plugin fantastically fits that ideology.

[@monkeyc_audio]

Great plan!

[@Chevytravelleruk]

This is BRILLIANT!... I bought and downloaded it before the video was even finished..

[@monkeyc_audio]

Thanks so much and have mcuh fun! 🙏🏻

[@djplusnine77]

This is my new favourite plug in , the possibilities are endless, simply brilliant 👌

[@monkeyc_audio]

Glad you like it! 🙏🏼

AMAZING Release. Keep up the great work and 🔌

[@monkeyc_audio]

Thanks!! Great update coming this week!! ❤️

[@SpikeColgate]

Coo, yeah, this looks like lots of fun. Nice work on the many features too, very slick...

[@monkeyc_audio]

Thanks!!

[@HobbieOne]

One of the best VST I’ve seen in decades, No 🧢. I bought and tested it since 2 days and I find it incredibly effective & intelligent. The algorithmic for the bpm sync/stretching concerning the loops is also quite impressive. A very good investment!

[@monkeyc_audio]

Thanks!! Have fun with Rando 😎

[@HobbieOne]

Thanks for the update 💯

[@monkeyc_audio]

You bet!

[@onedarkside4830]

This is DOPE AS!!

[@monkeyc_audio]

Great to hear! 🙏🏻

[@torley]

Friendly greetings again! I appreciate your quick support reply, which encouraged me to buy Rando, because you have a fair refund policy. I'm really impressed by your smart implementation of the most useful features in a clean layout, including the ⚡ LIFE control and the easy Chromatic mode switch, which is something a lot of samplers lack to "focus in" - just now, I wanted to isolate an 808 Bass from the whole "kit" and just play it up and down the keys, and voila! I like the sensible things that fold multiple steps into one, like the pitch detection... are you using some kinda AI tech for the sound type recognition? I'm going to find out how it handles under load with dozens of instances. I enjoy tools that help me discover treasures laying around on my SSDs and spark hidden connections between them. THANK YOU FOR RANDO and I hope you keep iterating it over the long-run!

[@monkeyc_audio]

Great to hear! Rando is a powerful beast!

[@BlackAera]

Woah! So glad to see that you are still around Torley. Haven't seen anything from you in aaages. I hope you are well :)

[@torley]

@BlackAera OMG thanks for noticing! I have a lot of new music on my website, looks like I can't paste it here but look up my name... 😉 I've already started using Rando on new productions! 🎲

[@ZiggyVision]

Very Nice !

[@monkeyc_audio]

Thank you!

[@EmbersMusic]

Love it! Can you select a folder of specific samples (ex: a set of drum kit one shots) to assign to part of the keyboard?

[@monkeyc_audio]

Yes you can! There is an import function in the top right that let’s you bulk import your samples! ❤️

[@EmbersMusic]

@@monkeyc_audio sweet!! That’s a great option!! Cha-ching! 😁

[@thegeenius]

pretty smart plugin'.. nicely laid out.. hmmm....

[@monkeyc_audio]

yes it is! 😁

[@Septeemberpain]

Would the ideal size keyboard be 88 key as shown in this video to get the most sounds on the keyboard

[@monkeyc_audio]

We will have an update next week so you can pick smaller keyboards as well, but the more keys the more fun! 😃

[@movement6514]

Is it polyphonic?

[@safenafe1]

How about a multi-timbal version? Would that work?

[@Sneakycat1971]

Can you set certain keys to receive certain types of samples? For instance starting at C1 it searches for nothing but percussion samples and and C2 it searches for nothing but loops.

[@monkeyc_audio]

This is on our roadmap!

[@BlackAera]

Call me interested. Is there a way to drag and drop samples from Rando into my DAW? One future suggestion I have is making the loop points snap into grid so that we can hold down a note and have the looping part be exactly on time. Like when I want to fill a section with a time stretched sample that's 8 beats but I only want to use the first half as is and then loop the next part 4 times over by snapping the looping points to the 5th beat and holding down the key.

[@monkeyc_audio]

Hi, if you hold down the mouse over the waveform you can drag your sample into your DAW. Regarding your comment: great suggestion!! Will add that to our list! 🙏🏻

[@BlackAera]

@@monkeyc_audio Hell yeah!

[@phelper4554]

Please add xfade to the loop mode and scales for the sequencer

[@monkeyc_audio]

Friday!!! ❤

[@monkeyc_audio]

Xfade is in there now!

[@mnkn_1st]

Hey! Love the plug in. One issue im having is if my one shots are overlapping. 808s for example. I cant seem to find a way to make the synth mono/legato? Is this an option and am I just being dumb? haha.

[@monkeyc_audio]

In the 1.3 update now!

[@JaeH0202]

Hi! Is there an option I can play demo/trial version? Btw, I love Rewind!

[@monkeyc_audio]

Not yet, we do have a 30 day money back guarantee! Awesome that you ❤️ Rewind!

@@monkeyc_audio Thanks, Just purchased and I'll give it a try!

[@monkeyc_audio]

Let us know how it goes!! 🎉

[@JaeH0202]

@@monkeyc_audio I've been experimenting Rando for long time and I love it! Definitely Rando is a keeper for me. I'm having lots of fun from sequence mode as well! In next update though, it'd be awesome if I can have sustain note option on sequence mode and panning on each single sample (or at the sequence). Wish you guys keep developing this already awesome plugin even more genuine. Thank you!

[@monkeyc_audio]

@@JaeH0202 Thanks for your feedback and great you like Rando! ☺I will put your suggestions on the list!

[@mikeymusic1]

A really great to the point overview of Rando 👍👍👏👏👏👏 BUT what I can’t understand is WHY these developers don’t put a dedicated filter with its own ADSR envelope on these plugins……..it’s essential to shaping sounds 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ hopefully in an update 🙏🙏🙏

[@monkeyc_audio]

Coming in July!! ❤

[@mikeymusic1]

@@monkeyc_audio That is Awesome.....thank you looking forward to this :-)

[@mrt801]

@@monkeyc_audiohas this been implemented yet?

[@monkeyc_audio]

@@mrt801 we might do this pretty soon!

[@mrt801]

@@monkeyc_audio ah cool said July in reply above. Would be nice to have an ADSR per note and filters

[@johncitizen8828]

Is there a way to switch out samples on individual keys? Also, crossfade on looping would be an awesome feature.

[@monkeyc_audio]

Yes, you can swap existing notes, import samples. Crossfade on looping will be implemented next week!

[@user-we8eq3tf9r]

@@monkeyc_audio Amazing! Crossfade will be awesome, thank you. I can swap samples with samples on other notes that are already imported onto the keyboard, but is there a way to swap with something from my HD?

[@user-we8eq3tf9r]

Dope VST, BTW, :)

[@monkeyc_audio]

@@user-we8eq3tf9r yes you can do both!

[@monkeyc_audio]

😁@@user-we8eq3tf9r

[@Sneakycat1971]

Also there needs to be the ability to shift every sample to a selected pitch instead of just the tonal samples

[@monkeyc_audio]

That’s coming! ❤

[@sqwire03]

I can't get it to populate more than 4 keys of 88 keys even when I've told it the key range and did a reinstall. Any ideas?

[@monkeyc_audio]

please send an email to [e-mail]!

[@prophismusic]

Does it map musical loops to the global key, or is that feature just one shots?

[@monkeyc_audio]

It transposes loops and one shots to the global key

[@longrangeswish]

This is great, but I'm confused as to why you have the BPM and key hidden in the UI until you hover over it? It doesn't seem like that serves much of a purpose, and you could argue that it's actually bad UX. It took me a while to figure out where to change the BPM.

[@monkeyc_audio]

hi! We wanted to keep the design clean from buttons you don't use often! But we will change how these button are displayed in the beginning, so you know where they are! ❤️

[@longrangeswish]

@@monkeyc_audio I can appreciate that, but I don't think that having those two options will clutter up the interface, especially with all the controls down at the bottom that are on two lines. I would suggest you could even remove the icons to the left of the dropdown menus and just make them the default option in the menu itself to simplify it a bit yet keep them visible. Anyway, thanks for the response!

[@JonCarrNet]

Am I missing something or is there no VST???

[@monkeyc_audio]

Yes you are 😃 We have standalone, AU, VST, and AAX!

[@plutostube]

Add an option to access the folders of other people online (like an exchage of access or someyhing), this will go bananas with the sample possibilities

[@alexandersorbas1881]

are you even nuts?

[@plutostube]

@@alexandersorbas1881 I am more than healthy minded my friend. Evolution was made by out of the box thinking, so put your head out of it :))) ps: if you read carefully my comment, this can be done JUST with access just from the owner of the folders (if that is your concern). Personally I will agree to share my sample folders if I know I will have access to exponentially more from other users. It is very very inspiring when you go through other producers sample selections

[@plutostube]

@@alexandersorbas1881 I am very healthy minded my friend.

[@maw0380]

How are samples tagged

[@monkeyc_audio]

we extract features from the filename (like type, key and bpm), we are working on sample classification based on the audio

Great, then I will wait for that! Fijne dag!
