random effect without repeat

Post by freadZdead »

Hi Claude,

our LX designer liked quite a bit of random chases in our current show, and I noted that it is truely random - in the fact that surprisingly often, you can get a repeated cue/step in an effect, which ends up looking a little odd if you try to time it to music. It then basically looks like you are resting two beats on a step...

Obviously, this is truly random, but might it be desirable to have at least the option to make it "random with no repeats"? meaning, when the electronic "dice" is spun, it just get's re-spun if you get the same step number that you are currently in, and this repeated until it's different.

Thanks for considering :).
Cheers,

Freddy

The latest build 3.4.6 insures that a random effect will not *randomly* repeat the same cue but will always pick a random, different cue from the last one picked.
