# Randomization

### Overview

Generate intelligent random variations to quickly spark new ideas. Randomization can target specific modules or the entire patch.

Click **Randomize** ir right-click to show **Randomization** options.

{% hint style="info" %}
Be sure to save your current preset before randomizing, as it will overwrite whichever settings are selected.
{% endhint %}

Select which part of Rift you would like to randomize:

* **Smart Randomize.** Distortion, Feedback, and Filter.
* **Randomize Distortion.** Randomize distortion module.
* **Randomize Feedback.** Randomize feedback module (when active).
* **Randomize Filter.** Randomize filter module (when active).
* **Randomize Modulators.** Randomize modulation sources.

These parameters will **NOT** be affected. Help guide the randomization by setting them manually:

• All Drive and Output Controls&#x20;

• All Multi-Band Controls&#x20;

• Feedback Frequency Range&#x20;

• Feedback Distort&#x20;

• Filter Cutoff Range&#x20;

• Filter Routing&#x20;

• Pitch Snap Settings&#x20;

• Modulator Rate Syncs&#x20;

• Curve Shapes

{% hint style="info" %}
You can lock most parameters to prevent them from being randomized. Right-click on a parameter to bring up the lock option.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.minimal.audio/rift-manual/modulation/randomization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
