Note Randomizer MKII front
Probability: At high settings more notes will be passed thru, from MIDI in to MIDI
out, at lower settings less notes will be passed thru. When turned fully up
(rightwards) all notes will get thru. Use this setting, if you only wants the elocity or
time (or nothing) to be randomized. At 0 ery few notes will get thru.
Note Randomizer MKII is 128 note polyphonic, and works on all MIDI channels at
the same time. If more than 128 note-on’s are recei ed at the same time, the last ones
will be ignored.
Velo To Prob: Adjusts how much the elocity alue of incoming MIDI notes will
affect the probability. The more you turn this knobs up, the more elocity will affect
probability. The higher the elocity alue, the higher the probability. In order for this
function to work, the probability knob must not be fully turned up.
Velo: Adjusts how much the elocity alue of the incoming midi notes will be
randomized.

Time: The new parameter on MKII. When turning this up, the MIDI timing will be
randomized, by adding a random delay to each note. This is useful for creating
acoustic-like ”strumms” out of chords, for making ”sterile” computer timing more
ali e, or just for plain time randomization of your own work.

Note Randomizer back connections
MIDI IN: Connect this to MIDI out from a MIDI de ice like a keyboard or a
sequencer, that transmits MIDI note on’s and off’s.
MIDI OUT: Connect this to a MIDI de ice that are able to recei e MIDI note on’s
and off’s.
9 V D : Connect a power supply to this, with the following specifications:
-9–12 V dc
-Minimum 200 mA
-DC plug with 2.1 mm hole and positi e oltage in the middle

Gotharman’s note randomizer are a MIDI only effect, that treats incoming MIDI note
on and off's. When it recei es note data, it takes a look at the adjustable probability
parameter, and the elocity alue, if Velo to Prob is other than zero, and randomly
decides if it will play that note or not. If it decides to play the note, it will ha e a look
at the adjustable random elocity parameter, and if this is higher than zero, it will
randomize the note elocity alue with the adjusted amount. If the Time parameter is
turned up, it will also create a random time delay, before it puts the note-on or off
thru to the output. This effect is ery useful for creating ariations in repeating
patterns.
All other MIDI data, than note on and off’s, are passed thru, from MIDI in to MIDI
out, without any treatment.
It works on all MIDI channels at the same time, so if you only wants to randomize
the notes to one MIDI instrument, you will ha e to connect the note randomizer’s
MIDI output directly to that instruments MIDI input, and connect the note
randomizer’s MIDI input, the way you would usually connect the instruments MIDI
input (i.e. to the MIDI output of your sequencer, master keyboard, computer, MIDI-
thru box, or whate er).
