Each new instance of [random] already seeds itself differently, so adding $0 isn't going to change anything there. The problem is that the seeds are repeated when you restart PD, so you'll get the same pseudo-random results every time you open the program. $0 won't help here, because the $0 values also repeat when you restart PD. ________________________________ From: Pd-list pd-list-bounces@lists.iem.at on behalf of Peter P. peterparker@fastmail.com Sent: 02 July 2018 18:26 To: pd-list@lists.iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] Random

Perhaps using $0 might be better then as it is unique and automatically assigned.
But $0 itself is deterministic--the first instance is 1003, the second is 1004, etc.
Yes, but it will provide a different seed to [random] inside every abstraction. Forgive me if I understand your intentions in the wrong way-
