Could there be a way to make a device that randomizes other devices? A combinator kind of could, coulnd't it?

Pulsar, Thor, Malström and many other devices have an LFO that can be set to produce random values. By using CV out you can manipulate other devices directly over their CV inputs or feed a Combinator with this signal to control parameters that are not accessable by CV inputs on the devices itself.

Yeah, but I meant more like pressing a button that randomizes either everything or prameters of choice. Like if I'd put a Radical Piano in a combi and keep pressing til I'd get something I like. :D

Oh, I know what you mean. Some VSTs like Absynth provide such a button. On Reason devices I often choose presets randomly to get inspired.

Yup, happy accidents may lead to something uber-cool.

Take a look at Korde - it has an option to randomize pattern.

Well yeah, I'm sure this device is deep and stuff, but it is a total mess to use because how it looks. :D
I hope Props to add a randomiser to combinator their way.

I'm more keen to randomise parameters not steps. :redface:

This combi uses parameter randomization. I usually bounce when I have a sound I like and saving the reason file might retain a chosen patch, but saving the chosen patch (.cmb) is not reliable at all:
