Randomize
RipX can apply a random selection of adjustments, effects and musical scales to notes/unpitched sounds each
time they are played back.
Randomize Adjustments / Effects
•
Make a note or time selection and then click Randomize in the Adjust / Effects menu.
•
Click & drag the slider button to the right/left to increase/decrease the level of randomization.
•
Click Randomize to remove this effect.
•
Once Randomize has been applied to a selection, click on the Dice icon to the right of any other
effect's slider to include/exclude that effect from being randomly applied.
•
For each included effect (marked by a Dice icon), click & drag its slider button right/left to
increase/decrease the level of randomization with which it is applied.
•
For higher Randomize levels, the effect levels are continuously adjusted during a note's playback.
•
If you copy & paste notes with Randomize applied, the copy will contain the latest effects set in
stone. Note that this does not record effect variations within a note.
o
Tip: Try typing L to create a loop marker for the selection (see above) and hit Play. At the
start of each loop, new effects will be applied, and repeated loops will be kept in a Ripple
under the Rip in the RipList Panel (see below).
Randomize musical scales
•
Click Set Musical Scale in the bottom-left corner of the window.
•
Click Randomize in the menu that opens.
•
In the same menu, Auto Pitch To Scale is automatically selected, meaning that the pitches of all
notes will automatically snap to the randomly selected scale each time playback is started.
•
To apply random scales to a selection of notes, uncheck Auto Pitch To Scale and apply the Pitch To
Scale effect to them.
•
Once a scale has been set, scale changes can be added by hovering the mouse pointer to the right
of a bar-line handle (beneath the bar line) and clicking Add Scale Change. From there, select
Randomize again to have multiple random scales in the same Rip, or choose a fixed scale.
•
Uncheck Randomize to prevent RipX from making any further random changes to the musical
scale and click Clear to remove it.
Ripples
When experimenting with edits, adjustments and effects during looped playback, RipX makes a recording of
the live audio, stored as a Ripple beneath the Rip in the RipList Panel.
