@whale-av thank you

@whale-av Hi David thank you again, I am trying to work with this truish random, but I am also trying to make a second possibility of reading my sound story: in this one I would use the random select only on content of each folder (so the serial number and serial numbers on demand stays the same) whereas the main folders are chosen in order (0,1,2, 3,..till 11) and then back to 1...however I cannot find anything under "play with order" or "numbers played with order" and anytime I rewrite something in serial_numbers_on_demand_master it stop working but it cannot be that difficult only change the random with some order? Dont you know what command should I use?
master.pd
serial_numbers_on_demand_master.pd

@whale-av

Can I have ...I hope... last question? When it will run for 6 days with breaks only at night (but it can theoretically run even all night) will the algorithm start repeat itself at some moment? There will be more than 20 folders with different number of sounds in each one....I already found out that the "random" works on some mathematical calculation but I am not really sure - when I will stop it for night will I get the same sequence next morning as the previous one?

@Johnny-Mauser Thank you, I will definitely check that out, maybe I can use it next time .)

@whale-av
I don't know how to thank you! It works!!!!!!!
It took me a while, but now it seems it works and I will just put all my sounds and all files... thanks to notes u left there I can even understand how it works!
Thanks so much!

@whale-av Thats amazing, thank you! I connect it like this try_this.pd And now it plays the sounds

@whale-av Hi David, thank you very much! Now maybe a stupid question but where will I put all the audio files?

I am just wondering about one last option..

1st step: randomly chose folder
2nd step: choose one file from that folder
3rd step: back to 1 point

I will try to do that tomorrow.

@whale-av

Hi .)

...[change] worked in the sense that it really stopped repeated numbers...But then the audio did not launched. My patch is a little bit messy right now as I am trying different things: posledni.pd

@whale-av Thank you, I tried and read everything but unfortunately this algorithm is probably more complicated that I needed...I am not able to update it...However I made new version, that suits my project even better and I hope it will be easier since I am a beginner and need to manage finishing this project in only 3 days ...Yet I still cant figure out some (probably basic) problems.

New project description:

I have 4 folders, that have each different number of sounds in each folder.

1st step: I want to make the main "random" pick that will "randomly" chose 1 of the folders.

2st step: from this chosen folder it will "randomly" play all sounds that are in this folder...

3rd step: the process go back to 1st point, but will now choose from 2 remaining folders.

4st step: when all the folder were played, than the process starts again.

Problems:
Unfortunately I am still stuck in these obstacles that I have been trying to solve all day:

1. how to make the generator only use numbers once?
   --- For example instead of: 1,1,2,5,4 to make him generate 1,3,5,2,4 - where all the numbers are used once and not repeatedly?

2. after this, how than make the generator stop and not continue in the process of "random" generation?

3. after this, how than make the algorithm go back and generate new folder?

This is one of the "folders" with for now only 5 sounds...I want to connect this "folder" to remaining 3 after solving problems 1 and 2.

If you could recommend me anything I would be really glad!
I tried everything I could find on the internet but with no success.

@whale-av Thank you so much! I will look at it and try

Hi everyone, I would be really glad if anyone could help me or just tell me that what I am trying to achieve is not possible...

I should mention that I am a complete beginner so please be patient with me

I want to make a random sampling, I have around 200 sounds that I want to randomly mix - I have already achieved that...but then it gets little bit more complicated... I would like to create some "event" when the program generates specific sequence. For example the randomly chosen sequence is:

68, 56, 66, 69, 59, 63, 55, 55, 56,………and so on….... than randomly in one moment it picks up this sequence: 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63 - and in this moment I would like to programme that these numbers will from now on behave as "group"...whenever the program then picks again any of numbers "55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63" it will play the whole group of all sounds that are behind these numbers,

All the numbers (all 200) would have these hidden groups that would "reveal" themselves at the moment that the programme would randomly pick them just for once.

When the programme finds all those hidden groups the process starts from beginning..

IS THAT POSSIBLE (if yes, then how?) or should i forget it completely?

Huge thanks.
