Dear list, I have created a simple random pitch generator that when a key is played on a controller it generates a random note. This is something I am hoping to demonstrate to a class I am teaching on Computer Music. Whenever I play a note, I get the following message: error: random: no method for float. I have translated this from Max, and it works, but it gives me the error in the terminal window. I am not using any float objects that I know of. I am using Windows ME and pd .32. I didn't send the patch because I am not sure if it is acceptable to send attachments. Sorry if this is a simple problem, but I'm still feeling my way around. Thanks for any help.

Regards, Tim
