Sound Development has recently released a specialized plugin host designed for controlled randomization of third-party plugin parameters.
AudioDice aims to create a predictable, stable environment for creative chaos. Each parameter’s range and randomization width can be controlled and you can randomize an individual parameter or all of them, even thousands.
AudioDice features
- Deep Randomization: Control the randomization width (±100%) and range for individual parameters or entire plugin states, even those with thousands of exposed parameters.
- Refined Plugin Scanning: Using background threads and out-of-process scanning ensures stable plugin scanning, while also retaining the option to load plugins manually.
- Robust Undo/Redo: Essential for any randomization workflow. Every “roll of the dice” is tracked, allowing you to iterate quickly without fear of losing a “happy accident.”
- Knob Mode: A streamlined workflow for parameter selection. In this mode, you simply move a control on the hosted plugin’s UI to instantly enable it for randomization.
- Dual Operating Modes: Available in both FX and Instrument configurations to sit correctly within any signal chain in any DAW.
- State Management: Full support for loading/saving your favorite randomized states.
The plugin is free in VST3 and AU formats for Windows and macOS.
