was looking for a substitute/parallel object to BrownNoise in Sc, which is described just as "Generates noise whose spectrum falls off in power by 6 dB per octave."
Another one would be GreyNoise, described as "Generates noise which results from flipping random bits in a word. This type of noise has a high RMS level relative to its peak to peak level. The spectrum is emphasized towards lower frequencies."
thanks

"True" pink noise is likewise impossible: if it's equal energy per octave, then since there is no "lowest octave," any energy in any octave implies infinity at 0hz. The fexpr~ approach I gave accumulates, but imagines a "container" with "walls" at +/- 1.0 where whatever was doing the random walk "bounces" off the wall. It should have a color within auditory range similar to unrestricted integration. A lot depends on what you want to do with the noise (it's not necessarily an audio source).
Convolution is a pretty good way to go. I've seen a number of filters that try to distribute phase randomly across the frequency magnitude curve. Also remember that the 6dB dropoff is with respect to log frequency, whereas FFT is linear in frequency.

There's [rojo~] in mrpeach, if by brown noise you mean red noise. (brownian noise?) [rojo~] tends to grow out of bounds, which is a problem with correlated noise: if you want long term correlations you have to be ready for the noise to get very loud. So in practice there is no red noise possible, it's all high pass filtered. To get any arbitrary shape of noise it can be done most efficiently by convolving a frequency curve table with white noise. The table would have the same length as the number of bins in the FFT.

hi, wondering how to implement brown noise in Pd (vanilla or extended) - moreover, I'd like and if there's an external that does it.
same about grey noise
thanks
