MuTools • Is it possible to load sample from folder - randomly?

Like imagine MuDrum and then you load say a kick sample in the first slot. Then the Sampler "senses" all of the kicks in that folder (assuming that a user has a folder or more of them with kicks).

Alternatively, add one "master" random sample button at the top of MuDrum. So imagine you load and create kit and so you have a kick from the kicks folder, cymbal loaded in another Drumpad from another folder, etc. You press that button and all DrumPads end with another set of samples randomly. But because a random sample is taken from a predefined folder that contains specific instruments (such as a folder with cymbals) the result while random is not entirely weird. As Kick pad ends with a different kick, Cymbals end with cymbals, Claps ends with random claps etc.etc.

While I am not a fan of random melody generators or random tools as such I noticed that at times products that have this feature can yield interesting drum kits.

Also imagine having a pad sample from the Pads folder loaded in MuSampla. PRessing random would load another random Pad sample from that folder - ending up with a potentially happy accident (or a waste of time).

You press a button and a new random sample is loaded in place of the old one. TAL Drum has this, Triaz does it, and so does the RS5K from the Reaper.

Thinking about the modular nature of MuLab I can't stop wondering why something like this is probably already possible.

If not possible where to send feature requests?

An alternative on steroids would be a feature that mimics Ableton similarity search. Similarity Search calculates a similarity score between sounds based on spectral and temporal characteristics, timbre, pitch, and other attributes. https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... Search-FAQ

Alternative two - some close-up implementation/collab of MuLab with Sononym (https://www.sononym.net/) so that MuLab uses their engine to mimic Similarity Search from Ableton.
