Randomachine is a randomiser effect plugin from United Plugins that changes multiple parameters of six built-in effects each time it is triggered, so repeated samples sound different.
Randomachine is built for producers who need many variants of one sound. Copied and repeated samples can sound mechanical, and Randomachine adds controlled variation to each hit. It is designed for steps, gunshots, hi-hats and similar material, and it can work across film and game sound design as well as electronic music. The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
Randomachine runs six effects behind the scenes: Pitch and Formant Shifter, Ambience, Saturation, Panorama and Time offset. Each time the plugin is triggered, it randomly changes multiple parameters of each of these effects, so every hit differs from the last.
The amount of change can be subtle or dramatic, which lets you use it for small humanizing touches or for heavy transformation of a sample.
Randomachine offers three ways to trigger its randomization. In Transient mode, the incoming audio signal sets off the engines, so every sonic hit changes the selected effects.
Sync mode changes the settings at a fixed interval tied to project tempo, which suits grid-based music. MIDI mode gives you control over exactly when randomization occurs, with any MIDI note from a chosen track or controller resetting the plugin.
