Partikl Controller Unit: Random
Overview
This controller simply generates a random value from -1 to +1 at the control rate (it is not an audio unit). There is no Unit interface, but you control the scale factor with the slider at the bottom.
The main controls (at the bottom):
- Connector: The "Connector" list lets you select the effects unit (which must be a control-rate unit) that is modulating the parameter for your effects unit. Change the entry here to be the unit number of the control-rate unit that you want to modulate your effects unit.
- Controller: The "Controller" list shows you a count of all the effects unit inputs that modulate parameters of your currently selected effects unit. The numbers in the list are just always numbered automatically from 1 upwards. Note that if there are no entries shown in the "Param" list, then this effect unit has no available modulators, and therefore you have nothing to control on it from e.g. LFOs or envelopes (in which case, Add etc. will have no effect).
- Add: Press the "Add" button to add a new entry to your "Controller" list.
- Delete: Press the "Delete" button to remove the currently selected Controller list item.
- Scale: The "Scale" slider lets you fine-tune a scaling factor between 0 and 2, by which the modulating input value (from the modulating unit) is multiplied, before being applied to your modulated effect unit's parameter. This allows you to carefully adjust the amount by which a parameter is modulated. Note that if more than one control-rate unit feeds a specific parameter on a target unit, they will get added together automatically (including the appropriate scaling factor); which means that control-rate junctions are not often required.
- Modulate Parameter: The "Modulate Parameter" list lets you select the effects parameter that you want to be modulated by the specified control-rate unit!
