Hello.
I was just wondering what the number after use_random_seed means.
For example, when random seed is 40(use_random_seed 40), what does 40 mean?
I don’t know what is the difference between rrand and use_random_seed…

Hello! I am a newbie in Sonic Pi and this point isn’t very clear yet (the explanation in the tutorial isn’t very clear for me)…Does the Use_random_seed define a new Midi note at the beginning of the stream? And what the number after Use_random_seed indicates? or it defines simply a new order in the stream :thinking:
Thanks for your help!! :smiley:

I think you’ll find this video by Mr Bomb gives a good explanation

Yes, I was going to drop that link here! Thanks @robin.newman

Just to give credit where it is due, my knowledge of how that works came from a video that @samaaron did a while back where he was answering Patreon members’ questions and that came up.
