Subject: stereo random?

I'm a c-sound beginner and I'm trying to make an instrument that will be
placed randomly in the stereo field each time it's initiated in my score.
I've just created a randi of .5, (+.5) and in my outs said asig * arand,
asig * (1 - arand).

What his does, is oscilate the signal stereophonically.  Any suggestions
out there?

joshua t.

Wellll... randi (the ending 'i' is important) "interpolates"  
between values...
this means it smoothly moves between values: your 'arand' variable will
produce output at the audio rate (the leading 'a' is the clue here), 
and this will smoothly change over the the duration of the note. A "pan".

Perhaps what you wanted was an "i" value? (i = "initialization"  
value: set only during
initialization pass) Try changing the 'arand' to 'irand'.


Again Welcome!
