Random trigger (delayed) start - Mat - 09-17-2025
Does anyone know if it is currently possible to have triggers start at random given times, controlled from the random ranges menu?
Basically I would be looking at giving the triggers values within a range of 01 up to 0F (delayed triggers). I can only find ratcheting and gate length.

Yes, this is called trigger delay and it can be a fixed value or derived from the ranges
indeed.

Thank you Thomas! I was looking in the wrong direction (and using the wrong terms while searching the manual).. :)
Quote from the manual, for documentation and helping out others:
"- Trigger Delay → Delays the Trigger on the local Trigger output with a fixed time(compared
to the CV change of the track). Depending on the setting Setup Screen→Trigger Delay
reach this applies only to the trigger column or to all generated triggers.
This is useful for modules which don’t sample the CV voltage correctly after the raising
edge of the trigger. A value of 0 means that the triggers have no delay.
After the highest delaytime (of 16.9ms), 16 random ranges can also be chosen as a
variable trigger delay time. Use these to achieve a humanization effect. (Press OK on one
of the random ranges to enter the → Random Ranges Screen and change the range)."

Yes! I just changed the manual a bit so it is more obvious that this is not just to fix external CV sampling issues :-)

Does anyone know if the same can be achieved for midi notes on midi tracks? Loc. Trigger Delay from the Track setup menu can be set to a random ranges value, but so far it doesn’t behave similar as random ranges for trigger delay on modular tracks.

Only for the modular triggers currently. It does behave the same as modular tracks actually for the triggers, but it is not applied on the midi notes.

Understood! Thanks!
