iOS Music Tips: Drambo random MIDI CC generator demo

This video shows how to use Drambo to send a random CC value from 0-127 to another app. This can be used for a wide variety of purposes where you want to send a random value to the MIDI in of an application. The range of output values can be modified by changing the range value in the randomizer.

In this example, I've been using Surface Builder from 4Pockets, but one of the things I wanted to do was randomize the values of some of the knobs and sliders and other controls, so that I could use it to do things such as select a random preset or a random LFO value in another app, and tap on a button to do it. Then if I find some settings I like, save a snapshot in Surface Builder and set those same values again, and do that up to 12 times. When demoing or experimenting with a project, I can just click on a snapshot to immediately change the settings across multiple apps, and AUM.

If there is interest in seeing a fully realized setup with multiple randomizers, knobs, buttons and a apps connected using the feature, let me know in the comments and I'll create a vid for that too.
