fractalnoise

fractalnoise — A fractal noise generator.

Description

Plugin opcode in fractalnoise.

A fractal noise generator implemented as a white noise filtered by a cascade of 15 first-order filters.

Syntax

ares fractalnoise kamp, kbeta

Performance

kamp -- amplitude.

kbeta -- spectral parameter related to the fractal dimension

  • 0 - white

  • 1 - pink

  • 2 - brown

Examples
