Hi Rounik, The question I have is how to implement Random Nature. I have a template that I use to create the material/sound design for all my pieces and wanted the Random Nature macro to live in there. I somewhat know my way around the environment. Any suggestions on how to go about it? Best, Flavio

Hi Flavio, Thanks :) It's a bit complex... might be easier to import the tracks into the Random Nature template... but here goes: 1st... Random Nature 2 should only be used on Audio tracks. I didn't get around to optimising it for software instruments tracks :) • Open the project you wish to import Random Nature into. • Open an Environment window and choose: Options > Import Environment (and choose Layer...) • Locate the RN2 project and choose the project file and choose to import the Random Nature Layer. Click OK. • Random Nature is now in your existing project, but we'll need to hook it up and give it a track to sit on with its own MIDI region. • Create a new track in the Arrange area (any type will do) and drag the Random Nature object onto the track header. Now create a MIDI region on that track and add notes on C3, for example. • Next, we'll need to cable from the desired audio channel strip to Random Nature: In the Mixer layer of the Environment Option click on an audio channel strip's output cable and select Random Nature from the drop-down menu. • We need to feedback the output from Random Nature to that channel strip: In the RN2 environment layer, option-click an output from RN object and choose to send the cable to the same audio channel strip as above. • Finally, make sure there is a cable from RN2 object to the "Write automaton" object and from the "write automation" object to the "Sequencer Input" on the Clicks and Ports layer. (note: you may need to visit the Clicks and Ports layer, select the Seq. object and enable its "Icon" in the Inspector first). This should all be setup now... :) Hope this helps, Rounik

Thanks Rounik. I'll give this a run!

No probs Flavio. Let me know if you need any further help and hope you enjoy using Random Nature 2 :)

It worked perfectly, thank you Rounik. Now, can I duplicate the random nature object and connect it in the same manner to the same audio track and end up with 8 parameters to control? Or is there other tweaks that need to be made? Best, Flavio
