First off, I've been using MA for years in many projects, so thank you for such a wonderful plugin that has continued to evolve beautifully!
I've been encountering an issue with the default Randomized variation sequence setting that I think I just figured out. Basically, I'll have a set of say, 10-12 voice over clips that I want to randomly play but not repeat during a 60 second minigame (effectively, random narrator banter). Given the timing of my event triggering, you'll only end up hearing 3-4 during any session, so it certainly should not be repeating any of the selections... but it does sometimes.
Today I realized my clips are set to probability to play of 30%, and it occurred to me that the clips are being *selected* (and thus removed) from the random pool, but then they don't play due to the probability check failing. So I'm guessing it is actually rotating through the whole pool at least once, it's just not actually playing most of the clips it selected.
So my question is: is there any way to have the sequence pool not remove the selection unless it actually plays (i.e. passes the probability check)? or if not, could you point me towards where in the code this is handled and I could try to roll a custom solution for it? Thanks in advance.
