Well, I think I'm probably making this too difficult for myself. My objective here is to generate a control contour consisting of a recurring triangle function whose period varies randomly from one cycle to the next--i.e., when the triangle function returns to zero it begins another cycle whose period is determined by a new random value.

Ideally I'm thinking this might be implemented with series of nextRandom messages, with each new nextRandom value triggered after the duration corresponding to the previous nextRandom message has elapsed.

I'm prepared to accept just about any solution, elegant or otherwise, at this point. Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can script my way out of this.

I think I've scripted a solution that does pretty much what I've been after. Global controllers with scripts will rule the Earth someday.

You solved it before we even read it!

But since there is always more than one way to do things in Kyma , we thought it might amuse you to see an alternative (yet similar) solution. I tried to make this one non-repeating and have a live control over the minimum duration and the range of durations.

This is VERY elegant! I'm quite happy to be using this instead of the chunky little gizmo I pieced together. (Also, this motivated me to get my Kyma versions updated so I could run this; I've been rather negligent about that for longer than I realized!). Many, many thanks!
