Randomizer

Randomizer allows you to create variations of a sound. By setting specific parameter values, you can determine how much these parameters are randomized. This is helpful if you want to use an audio file, for example, the sound of a closing door, several times in your project and let it sound different every time.

Note

This plug-in is recommended for use in offline processing. Using it as a realtime plug-in might increase the latency.

Randomizer allows you to define the range within its parameters are allowed to change. Pitch, Impact, Color, and Timing act as metaparameters. This means that when you modify one of these metaparameters, a whole set of parameters is modified in the background.

Pitch

Sets the maximum pitch change.

This parameter allows for very basic and effective sound variations. It is especially suitable for voices and tonal sounds but can also give good results on atonal noises.

Impact

Sets the maximum variations of attack and envelope settings.

This parameter allows for variations of the onsets and transitions of sounds. Even sounds without hard attacks may get interesting variations.

Color

Sets the maximum amount of coloration.

This parameter allows you to change the tonal balance of the fundamental frequency and its harmonics. This can give good results on rich sounds, for example, squeaks and effects but also on voices.

Timing

Sets the maximum timing change.

This parameter allows you to vary the timing of sounds that have a recognizable pattern. At extreme settings, this may change the order of segments within a sound.

Note

Setting the above parameters to a value of 5 causes a noticeable yet natural sounding variation. Values higher than 8 alter the sound drastically.
