Description

Weibull distribution random number generator (positive values only). This is an x-class noise generator

Syntax

ares weibull ksigma, ktau

ires weibull ksigma, ktau

kres weibull ksigma, ktau

Performance

ksigma -- scales the spread of the distribution.

ktau -- if greater than one, numbers near ksigma are favored. If smaller than one, small values are favored. If t equals 1, the distribution is exponential. Outputs only positive numbers.

For more detailed explanation of these distributions, see:

Examples

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

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-odac           -iadc    ;;;RT audio I/O
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o weibull.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1.
instr 1
  ; Generate a random number in a Weibull distribution.
  ; ksigma = 1
  ; ktau = 1

  i1 weibull 1, 1

  print i1
endin


</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>

; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
i 1 0 1
e


</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

Its output should include a line like this:

instr 1:  i1 = 1.834
