RNDSYNTH: randome Synth patch generator for Synthstrom Deluge

Versions

01-09-18 V0.1 Initial release

02-09-18 V0.11

- Added option to randomise modulation FX (chorus etc.) --rndModFX <True/False>
- Fixed a couple of bugs which stopped overriding some default parameters
- Lowered default delayLimit setting (delay feedback)

Installation and requirements

Update: I've updated the repo which now contains a script to install 'pip' (Python tools). I think the steps to get it working should be something like this:

  1. Install Python, version 3.x at least. https://realpython.com/installing-python/

  2. Download and unzip rndsynth.zip

  3. Open a commmand prompt or terminal window and navigate to where you unzipped rndsynth.

  4. Enter 'python get-pip.py' to install pip tools

  5. To install the library dependencies use pip:

pip install lxml pip install typing

Running

You can run rndsynth.py without any parameters for the correct options syntax. Below is a brief explanation of what each option does.

octaveRange Number of octaves over which the oscillator pitches are generated. Positive and negative values are generated so a value of 2 will generate pitches from -24 to +24

semitones True/False, if True the pitches will be generated in semitones. If False only octave intervals will be used, the range determined by octaveRange

patchAll True/False. If True, one random modulation connection will be made per modulation source. If False, a random number of modulation sources and destinations will be generated.

patchLimit 1 to 32. Number of modulation connections to randomly create.

unisonLimit 1 to 8. Limit to the number of random unison voice number setting.

delayLimit 0 to 50. Limit the amount of delay feedback. This is 20 by default to avoid overloading the feedback.

reverbLimit 0 to 50. Reverb amount limit.

lpfMinimum 0 to 50. Sets the minimum LPF frequency.

hpfMaximum 0 to 50. Sets the maximum HPF frequency.

resLimit 0 to 50. Sets the resonance limit for both LPF and HPF

srrLimit 0 to 50. Sets the limit for sample rate reduction effect

brrLimit 0 to 50. Sets the limit for bit rate reduction effect

saturationLimit 0 to 15. Sets the limit for saturation effect

noiseLimit 0 to 50. Sets the noise level limit

rndArpeggiator True/False. If True, random arpeggiator settings will be generated. If False, they won't.

rndModFX True/False. If True, random modulation FX will be generated.
