Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a way to generate an unspecified number of random floats the sum of which is always a known float, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I would feed this algorithm 2 values: the number of random numbers (integer), and the value of their sum (float). I intend to use this to generate random breakpoints to use with [breakpoints] or [envgen].

I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I actually found a way to do this in case anyone is interested. It's a bit involved but it seems to work.

random.sum.pd

EDIT: a simpler version, still requires the [list-abs] abstractions. random.sum2.pd
