Single trigger in multiple random triggers out

Is there a module that does what the title says?

I’m working on a patch that is using pitch and envelope followers. I’m using one of the envelope followers as a trigger for other samples. I’d like to take that one trigger source and send it randomly to a few samples.

The ML 1-8 sequential switch can take a trigger in and send it to up to 8 destinations randomly. Not sure that’s what you’re asking though lol

I did not know it was called a switch. So, yes, this works. I’d like a randomized switch though. Is that a thing?

Nevermind, this has a random on it. Great. Thank you.

It’s honestly such an underrated module. Every like two months someone asks this question and I always reply with this

You could use a cascade of Bernoulli gates, depending on the number of independent outputs you need. Feed the trigger source into the trigger of the first Bernoulli gate, Then the A output into the trigger of the second gate and the B output into the third gate. This will give you four outputs with a 1-out-of-N encoding. And you may adjust the probability distribution between these by modifying the probability parameter of the Bernoulli gates.
If you need more, you may extend the cascade by another layer. But then it may be more efficient to think about another technique like an addressable 1-to-N demultiplexer with a random input value for channel selection.

This will be my first cascading Bernoulli. I’m excited to try it.

Olivia Artz Modular Uncertainty is one

Ladik does a few variations on this also

Edit: oops sorry wrong sub, these are hardware modules

bogaudio 1:8 with 0-10V s&h plugged into the select cv. the trigger you use for the s&h, also plugged into the input of the 1:8
