Default Constantly Changing Random EQ & Saturation ?

Hi Folks. .
I'm looking to try something on an old Linn drum part.
I'd like to make it constantly variate, change slightly, with some subtle eq & also maybe saturation. . .
Does any one know of any plugins that achieve this ?

I have a side chaining plan, but thought I'd just put this out there in case there is something that has a "random" setting to save time . .

Hi,
Don't know about random, but you can use automation for that.

Yes, with automation is easy, here's the basic concept explained with volume but you can do it with any parameter that can be used be automated

Here are the steps I follow

Another thing you can do is try modulation, the WOW control of J37 in a slow setting can do wonders with drum machines.

You could try a Fuzz-wah type of effect and blend in only a tiny bit of it.

There may even be one out there that does a random thing instead of modulation or manual control.

Actually, have a look at Metafilter by waves, it could possibly give you what you want, plus a mix knob to blend in the results.

Great idea! the new Tube Modulizer by Audiority allows you to choose the type of waveform you want and it has a strong character that sounds great on percussion

Here's you can hear the character of the different models without the modulation
