trandom

trandom — Generates a controlled pseudo-random number series between min and max values according to a trigger.

Description

Generates a controlled pseudo-random number series between min and max values at k-rate whenever the trigger parameter is different to 0.

Syntax

kout trandom ktrig, kmin, kmax

Performance

ktrig -- trigger (opcode produces a new random number whenever this value is not 0.

kmin -- minimum range limit

kmax -- maximum range limit

trandom is almost identical to random opcode, except trandom updates its output with a new random value only when the ktrig argument is triggered (i.e. whenever it is not zero).

Examples

Here is an example of the trandom opcode. It uses the file trandom.csd.

Example 940. Example of the trandom opcode.
