Re: Best way to produce smooth random motion

One thing I notice is that if I have two Random patches driving X position and Y position inputs, the object always moves diagonally. Now I understand why - each Random patch produces the same number, so x and y were always equal! I think I was expecting each Random patch to give a different number...


that because you did a copy of the Random patch instead of dragging a new one from the patch list :)

Oh, hey! I'd noticed the same thing, but never thought that copies of a patch would produce the same sequence but a new patch wouldn't. So each Random patch has its own seed, and it's copied when the patch is?

I'm really confused about which "random" elements in QC are always going to give me the same sequence..
