How to use

When activated correctly you should have a new controller icon at the top right of your bitwig window. Clicking the Go button will randomize the remote control pages of the currently selected Device that contain the $randomN tag.

Setting up the pages

Open the Remote Controls Editor

Create Pages and add remote controls for all your parameters.

Than add a tag to the pages that should be randomized by clicking on the lower part of the page. The extension will randomize all pages that contain a $randomN tag.

The N represents a consecutive number: $random1, $random2, $random3... up until $random128 giving you 1024 parameters per device.

Clicking the Go button will now randomize all qualifying pages of the selected device.

Deviation Amount

You can change the deviation amount to mutate the current state instead of completely randomizing all parameters.

A value of 100% will completely randomize the parameters. Anything lower will ad or substract from the current value.

100% -> newValue = random(0,1)
1% -> newValue = currentValue + 0.01 * random(-1, 1)
30% -> newValue = currentValue + 0.3 * random(-1, 1)
