I am sorry - I could not re-create what you wrote. I do see the benefit of a command instrument though, but the combination with randomization is just too much to wrap my head around. I will take another approach after I worked through the “FMOD Skills” website. Maybe that helps to understand it.
I wonder though, if it possible to set my parameter “active” to “1” if my multi-instrument is playing and “0” if not playing. If I could achive that I can use the programmer instrument to trigger my multi-instrument only if ACTIVE=0, to avoid overlapping sounds. (i opened this new thread for that)
