noise-generator-node

The noise generator node is a [patch-network] node that can be created by the [graph-editor]. Its purpose is to output random values (noise). It supports two modes of output:

  • White noise, which is purely random values from [-1, 1] every sample and
  • Stepped random values, which is white noise which is sampled and held for a configurable number of samples

In addition, it also supports quantization and smoothing of its output.

Quantization works by snapping outputs to a configurable number of steps. A quantization factor of 0 means no quantization. A factor of 4 means that values will be snapped to a total of 4 different values from [-1, 1].

Smoothing applies a one-pole lowpass filter to output values with a configurable coefficient.
