Bernoulli

A coin: every event goes either left or right

Open in the synth with a demo patch Open Modular

What it does

Bernoulli deals incoming events to two outputs: with the Probability into a, otherwise into b. In "alternate" mode there is no coin, events take turns. The phrase branches: some notes go to a Voice, others to a String; some hits to the Kick, others to the Snare. Held notes remember where they went, so their release follows.

Try this

Send a pulse into Bernoulli and connect its outputs to two Drums: one path wins each time.

Try this

Sequencer → Bernoulli 70 % → a: Voice, b: String an octave up — one phrase, a timbre that keeps changing.
Alternate → two Drums — the simplest ping-pong of hits.
Bernoulli → Bernoulli: four branches, each its own.
