Re: [PD] vanilla solution for random float

Hi Raphaël,

Hello list,

I want to do a simple task : pick a random float in a defined range (let's say between 0.0 and 1.0). I know there are this kind of objects in external libraries (something like [randomF] if remember), but since the collapse of Pd-Extended, I generally prefer to make vanilla abstractions.

This is the best solution from educational point of view, and the most fun :-)

so I wondered if there are other vanilla and efficient solutions? ...or if I just have to get the external from deken... ? :)

The deken external library maxlib contains a collection of random number generators (see maxlib-help.pd for an overview). The usual range is 0-1, so you can multiply as you wish.

thanks,

Raphaël

Greetings & success,
