Random Naming
Random project name filled with FUNC + CUE.
Fills a name editor with a random name from two 64-word pools (4,096 joins). Hold FUNC and press CUE.
Access
In a supported name editor, hold FUNC and press CUE. Stock FUNC + REC,
PLAY and STOP (PASTE, CLEAR, COPY NAME) stay. Not in an official remix;
build the test remix rnd-name.
Operation
| Editor | FUNC + CUE writes |
|---|---|
| NAME THE NEW PROJECT | a date YYMMDD and two words, for example 261014 FOGBED |
| SAVE SAMPLE AS | two words, no date |
| SAVE PROJECT AS, CHOOSE NEW PROJECT NAME | two words |
| NAME THE NEW DIR, NAME THE NEW SET | two words |
| KITS > SAVE KIT | one short word (7 characters at most) |
| RENAME PROJECT, PART, ARR, remarks, card | stock; the chord does nothing |
- Stock still seeds a new project's name with
PROJECT DDMMYYuntil the chord runs. The date comes from the clock chip. - Pressing the chord again changes the words.
- Measured on the port: the chord on CREATE EMPTY PROJECT. The sample, save-as, directory, set and Kit paths are not gated under the port.
Status: on hardware: cursory testing on Sam's MKII (owner report, 16 Oct 2026); FUNC+CUE on CREATE under the port (verify_rnd_name); pools from unit.
