is is possible to randomize the start of a multi-instrument? I use it to randomly trigger “addendum” sounds in my “base” music cue, but right now they are all lined up at the beginning of the music loop (1). I like the instruments to start anywhere in the timeline.
Yes, it’s possible. If you select the instrument and look at its panel in the deck, you’ll see the words “Trigger Behavior” written sideways. Clicking on those words expands the trigger behavior drawer. In the trigger behavior drawer, there’s a section labelled “Delay & Quantization.” In your case, you want delay, so click on the “Time” button. This will give you a ribbon slider that lets you specify the minimum and maximum time after the instrument is triggered that it should start playing.
You’ll also want to set the instrument to be asynchronous, so that it starts playing its assets from the start instead of from part-way through.

thanks a lot - much apreciated.
let’s make it more complicated:
Aside from the randomization, can I snap it to the bars or randomize it by beats instead of time?
