Sample randomizer

I made a little program that picks out random samples from your entire sample library and copies them into a new folder for you. You can pick specific folders to ‘roll’ from, and you can choose how many samples to pick out. I’m sure this already exists but if ppl are interested I’ll try to put it on github or something.

I just made it w chatgpt and python idk how it works but it works, it’s like 200 lines of code. It’s cool for digitakt.

This seems like a cool tool. Congrats on making it.

Nice work !

I have handwritten scripts (in ruby, not python) but they work a bit differently, pick a random kick, random snare, random hihat, then a random selection of percs.

It’s a nice way to kick off a project and generate ideas.

idk about selecting samples but there’s probably a bunch of maxforlive devices that have randomizers in

thats cool. i can’t believe how easy it was w gpt lmao, but you hit a ceiling with complexity pretty quick. how did you do a sample for each drumhit type? did u have seperate folders or were you looking for keywords?

When I get a new pack I always make sure the wav files get the elektron prefixes (if it’s not an elektron pack). I do that with scripts too. So every kick I’m going use to starts with BD etc.
