I'd suggest these orchestra and score to investigate the behaviour of the xamp (max random number) at randh's output time (it means 1/440Hz=~0,0022727272727272727272727272727273sec.). try this and watch waveform! ;orchestra sr = 44100 kr = 4410 ksmps = 10 nchnls = 2 instr 1 k1 randh 10, 440 a1 oscil p4, k1, 1 k2 randh 1000, 440 a2 oscil p4, k2, 1 outs a1,a2 endin ;score f 1 0 1024 10 1 i 1 0 0.0022727272727272727272727272727273 32000 e I hope it will be usefull, it's my first message... dott.
