Max For Live randomizers

[update 9/13/2013]

The c74 “Max For Live Essentials” pack contains a “device randomizer”. Located in Max Audio Effect | Control Devices.

It works in Auto or Trigger mode. And it automatically maps the entire device.

Other randomizers…

Max for Live Pluggo abstractions

By Cycling74

Max/MSP folder: applications/max6.1/patches/m4l-patches/Pluggo for Live Resources/patches

Here you will find things like pluggo.randomPreset that gets called with sends/receives in the Pluggo patches. A challenge will be how to randomize ‘any’ params in any patch?  Without knowing the ranges?
