fractalnoise

A fractal noise generator.

Plugin opcode in fractalnoise.

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

Here is an example of the fractalnoise opcode. It uses the file fractalnoise.csd.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
-odac     ;;;realtime audio out
;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o oscil.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
