Random BPM
#1
As we've already discussed in a thread, changing random bpm values in a column is indeed possible, but you have to go about it in various ways using either a matrix, a track setup, via Automator or just manually, all of which work fine, but which are not so practical, in my humble opinion. 

Therefor, can I ask if it would be possible to simply include RN0 - RN.. in the BMP setting in the FX choices? This way you could set the BMP as BPM 064, then later BMP RN0 to get some random value, then later put back BPM 064 to bring it back to the original tempo. 

Simple and straight forward, what do you think? 

BTW, I'm having fun using all the options we discussed, but finally it's easiest to fake unstable changing BPM by simply using the FX column and adding odd BMP values throughout the sequence(s) such as: BPM 068 --> BPM 079 --> BMP 054 --> BPM 064 --> etc. All of these can be easily cancelled out on the next sequence or brought back to the original tempo all from one screen.

I actually don't see a need for this. Beside the discussed options they are many more, including FX probabilities etc which can be simply changed in multiple ways.

Also the danger is that BPM is one of the FX and what about the requests for the hundreds of other FX functions which could have the RNx as well. That's basically what the random FX ranges are for.
PLEASE use the search function if something have been asked or discussed before.

Fair enough, I see your point. 

Actually, one I hadn't thought of (which is more or less the same) is to simply put RND in the FX1 column and then BPM in the FX2 column. It works a treat, and .... you can change the random values either directly or via the RND setting themselves, and more (page 35 of the manual).
