Hey guys, long time since I posted here.<br>I've been trying to think a way to divide a number into random parts.<br>Let me explain myself better:<br>I'm writing a piece where I want 10 chords played during 48 seconds but the duration of each chord should be different.<br>
So I'm trying to figure out a way to divide 48 into 10 unequal parts, I think using random numbers should be the best way but the difficulty is to get 10 random numbers wich summed give 48.<br></blockquote><div><br>take n random numbers and sum them (n1+n2+n3+...=sum)<br>
divide 48 by that sum (48/sum=x)<br>
multiply each of your n random numbers by x and sum that to get 48<br>
(n1*x + n2*x + n3*x +...=48)<br>gr,<br>

I want to do this operation with other numbers, therefore a pd patch would be great.<br>
