RANDOM is an infinite sound generator plugin by BEATSURFING that uses neural network principles to create an endless range of distinct sounds through a Synth and a Resonator, steered by a randomize wheel.
RANDOM is built around a wheel that moves you between two systems, the Synth and the Resonator. Each spin randomizes the sound, and a DEVIANCE control sets how far each spin goes. Developed with artist Phazz, the plugin targets sound design, resampling and improvisation. It combines the depth of its randomization with a simple control layout, and it ships with X/Y tables of handcrafted timbres that morph between points as you move the cursor.
The synth's decay length is set by the STRESS control. SPIKE shifts the character from darker, warmer tones at one end to a more assertive, edgier palette at the other.
BLEED and FLUID act on the resonator, shaping its color and presence. Together these controls let you push the sound toward the inharmonic, aliased, resonating, flanging and hard percussive tones that the developer describes as the target direction for the plugin.
RANDOM includes TABLES AND PRESETS arranged as X/Y tables. Within each table, neural networks morph the sound between points as the cursor moves across the grid.
The developer describes the MATTER control as a 2D element that responds to your cursor with attraction and repulsion, inspired by ferrofluid dynamics. This makes the tables a practical starting point for exploring timbres you would not build from scratch.

RANDOM is a synth plugin by BEATSURFING that generates endless distinct sounds. A randomize wheel moves between its Synth and Resonator systems.
RANDOM is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats. It runs on Windows 10 and macOS 10.15 Catalina or later, and it is a 64-bit plugin.
You need a host application that supports 32-bit or 64-bit VST on Windows, or 64-bit VST or AudioUnit on macOS. A Windows system needs at least 16MB of free disk space and a macOS system needs at least 52MB. Users of FL Studio should enable the 'Use fixed size buffers' option in the Troubleshooting tab of the plugin settings.
If you access RANDOM through a Rent to Own plan or the Beatport Studio membership, it runs through the Beatport Access portal, and an internet connection is needed every 30 days to validate the license.
