Random Tremolo?

I’m lazy so I haven’t done a ton of searching, but wondering if anyone knows of a Tremolo that has not only random waveform options, but also random depth and speed? I liked what little I heard of the Lastgasp Flikrrr, but is that just a random waveform trem?

I amn't aware of any that randomize speed or depth natively so

I say,
of course, as ya probs know, if'n ya get yourself one that has exp/cv control over speed/depth you could macgyver sumpin' with a Copilot Broadcast or whatever the Source Audio/TWA/??? work-alikes be....
as to what trems give control over speed/depth, idk - moogerfoogers mebbe? gate section of the Koma BD-101? Chase Bliss Gravitas, most probs. Abuse the tap/syn input of a Malekko Goatkeeper. A ring mod like Randy's or MF-102 set in trem range.... mebbe Empress w/ midi. some versions of the drolo gives yeh exp control over speed. Walrus Monument exp. in can be configured to control any knobbie

I have now reached my lazelimit and can't be arsed to look at OBNE or any other possibilities
Digistuffs: Boss multifx w/ enough control parameter wranglin'; I refuse to look at the Strymezes; Line 6 M series and newer with external helpsies, probs same fer teh MM4 cinderblox....
edit: pretty sure Sonuus Voluum can do it natively (and analogilly), but ya need to use the 'puter to get there....

What does the Snax dude mean?

he's a rohrshach blot, probs, but I use him to denote interest/possibility/GAS/potential.... idk exactly why I was using him here, lol, but something like that....

Gotcha. Makes Sense.
This guy seems to do some of what I'm describing, albeit with an outside CV source:

yas - that would do it, with an external random source...looks very cool. another

opportunity

I bet the EHX SUPER PULSAR can do something at least pseudo random like I do not know all of the under the hood features though.

yeah the boss stuff is killer you can put "wave pedal"(LFOs) on any/all parameters.

The Drolo Twin Peaks looks like a decent option as well..random wave form, envelope controlled rate, expression controlled rate as well. If only the envelope or expression controlled different parameters that would be just about perfect.

Yeah, I'm checking it out now. Was aware of it, but didn't realize it had as many "tweakable" features.

He might be able to whip something up for you if you asked nicely.

Zeppelin Quaverato, CB Gravitas, and others that escape me take MIDI CC messages. Send a random MIDI LFO to the given CC, or better, multiple random LFOs to multiple CCs, and stand back and realize that maybe you don’t want it all that random. A lot of times, people step back and realize that they just want a little random variation in a more steady LFO. Gold is when you can modulate your more normal LFO a bit with a random LFO.

Perhaps not exactly what you're asking for, but I've always wanted to try one of these:

This is real cool, no idea how this slipped by so unnoticed. Anyone here got any experience with one to tell me how much control you have over it?
