Soulreaktive — Drift Randomizer

I always wish Ableton would add a random clickable button to their Instruments & Fx devices (not when they are racked), now it's possible with this 'lil extension. This is another cool starting point, when you find something sounding good, you can go further in sound designing Drift, or simply save this state as a new preset.

You can choose a percentage of randomness from 0 to 100%. Initial start is 50%.

Preview

Double-click the .ablx file with Live Beta open (Developer Mode enabled in Preferences → Extensions).
