Sorry for hijacking this thread but I'm wondering if you have any pointers for the following case: (It's about randomization.) I'm looking for randomize Note On from a midi file. I have two way for sending this file, a standard file generated by Lilypond or a text file by midicomp. Here is an excert from midicomp file: 062:00:000 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=105 063:-1:-576 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 063:-1:-384 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=95 063:-1:-192 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 063:-1:000 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=127 063:00:-576 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 068:00:000 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=127 069:-1:-576 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 074:00:000 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=127 074:00:192 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 074:00:384 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=95 074:00:576 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 074:01:000 On ch=10 note=f#3 vol=105 074:01:192 Off ch=10 note=f#3 vol=64 I'm looking for randomizing the third column: 192 or -576... between + or -3 units for instance. ( 000 is a special case) I've googled some info about $RANDOM but I haven't been successful in my rather random! investigations. :) Have you any advice or pointers?
