Hi there,

Is there a way in Qlab to trigger samples at random time intervals.

Inspired by the "FMOD scatterer instrument" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umrxu8t7UkA at 32min45seconds) we would like to trigger raindrop samples at random intervals (1 to 15 seconds) during the entire show. All tips welcome.

A random group containing your raindrop samples

A random group with start cues targeting the first random group with various ,prewaits. e.g 15 cues with prewaits, from 1 to 15s, or 45 cues with prewaits 1, 1.33, 1.66, 2.0, 2.33 etc.

Here it is in action. I have duplicated the random groups 3 times, and set the levels within each group to quiet medium or loud. I have also randomised the panning of each audio cue.

Time between drips is randomised between .1 and .8 seconds in increments of 0.1s
