This is one of the more fun features of Europa – a random patch generator! Executing the random patch
generator will cause the currently edited patch to be randomized in the following fashion:

2 LEVEL2 LEVEL
2 LEVEL is always set to 127 for maximum output
• The following potentiometers/sliders are randomized with an inverse logarithmic response. That is,
they most likely will be 0 and least likely to be 127 (maximum). All other potentiometers/sliders are
completely random:

2 mixer is center weighted, meaning the most likely values will be near the center
with a 50/50 mix split
• The filter settings have a 50% chance of being low pass, 25% of being high pass, and 25% of being
band pass
• All other buttons are completely random, though only valid settings will be chosen
Remember, in synthesis there are more ways to make no sound than a sound. That is why the random
patch generator does not randomize all settings – to help minimize the possibility of complete silence. If
the generated random patch does not make sound initially, hold down on the key for a few seconds, as
attack time may be a bit longer than immediate. If after 10 or so seconds there is no sound or you just get
too impatient, press 8

8 again to create another random patch!
The random patch generator was designed to help guide sound generation rather than being a polished
patch. Tweaking of the random patch is encouraged and expected.
Creating a random patch will always transmit a “generate random patch” system exclusive message.
