Non destructive randomization

[yowza]

Hey folks,

I'm new here and to Numerology 2 so pardon if this has already been brought up before but I was playing around with N2 the other day and had programmed a really cool rhythm into the drum sequencer and wanted to try to randomize it a little and found out that it was way more random than I wanted. At that point I tried to go back to what I originally had but there didn't seem to be anyway to undo or revert back to my original pattern. Of course I had committed the cardinal sin of not saving the pattern first but I never could figure out how to get back to square one from within my stack.

This very well might be a user error thing and maybe I just couldn't find the way back to my original pattern or that I need to get more familiar with N2's workflow (like saving periodically when I get something I like-doh!). If there isn't a way to undo the randomization that might be something to add to N2 in the future. Sometimes you want to try something out quickly and see what it sounds like and it would be nice to be able to quickly undo that if you don't like the results.

Thanks! :)

I'll definitely keep that in mind. I left undo support out of 2.0 as it would have greatly extended the development time. And, as you noted, you can 'snapshot' a preset to keep a copy of it around. One other item you may not yet know about is that there are some "programmable randomization" features I'm working on for a "pro" upgrade planned for later this year.

Cheers,
Jim
