Hallo,

Once again, sorry for the rudimentary questions, but I can't seem to find
the correct language for a very simple function: Instead of using
Std.rand2f( ) for fluctuating volume or buf.rate, I'd like to simply have an
either/or option. Play sample at a rate of 1.0 *or *1.5, randomly. The moses
function (in pure data) was useful for this. Direction to the appropriate
helpful would also be appreciated.



Thanks so much,

Tim

Tim,
You can use rand2f to do this....

float sampleRate;

if (std.rand2f(0.0, 1.0) < 0.5)
   1.0 => sampleRate;
else
   1.5 => sampleRate;

I ran this section of code 1,000,000 times in my program doing this chunk of code every 1 sample and:

1. ChucK did not make my computer explode :)
2. The rate was set to 1.0 500,814 times and 1.5 499,186 times (pretty good distribution)

Hope that helps!

Best,
Mark
