The ran function
{ran f/i min max}
ran is for random. ran will generate a random number between
min and max as a floating point (f) or an integer
(i). Functions have no duration and can only be used inside an algorith
or as an operand.
min and max can be:
-
a real number.
{ran f 1.2 9}
{ran i 3 6000}
-
a CECILIA irate variable. Any irate variable from the , CECILIA
interface can be used (sliders, toggles, option) by including the name
of the variable between [] brackets. The substitution is done before
the score is pre-compiled.
{ran f [blue] [black] }
where blue and black have been defined as irate variables
in the CECILIA interface.
-
a Cybil function.Any Cybil function can be used to generate a value.
Each time the value is needed, the function is evaluated .
{ran i {ran f .5 3.3} {pik 3 4 5 6 7}}
