exprandi

exprandi — Exponential distribution random number generator with interpolation (positive values only).

Description

Exponential distribution random number generator with controlled interpolation between values (positive values only). This is an x-class noise generator.

Syntax

ares exprandi klambda, xamp, xcps
ires exprandi klambda, xamp, xcps
kres exprandi klambda, xamp, xcps

Performance

klambda -- lambda parameter for the exponential distribution.

The probablity density function of an exponential distribution is an exponential curve, whose mean is 0.69515/lambda. For more detailed explanation of these distributions, see:

  2. D. Lorrain. A panoply of stochastic cannons. In C. Roads, ed. 1989. Music machine . Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT press, pp. 351 - 379.

xamp -- range over which random numbers are distributed.

xcps -- the frequency which new random numbers are generated.

Examples

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