Thanks everybody for your suggestions,
I'll stay with the "full resolution" random 1<<24 since i only want uniform random, but i'll give a try to the mentionned externals.

all best,

Raphaël

Hello list,

I want to do a simple task : pick a random float in a defined range

If you're after more random randomness you could search online for free random (or noise) sources, load them into an array, normalize 0.0 to 1.0 and read the array.
Of course this may or may not fit your scenario depending on e.g. the rate at which you need to get a new random number etc.
