when I use “brownian 1 2 0.5″ it supose to give me
1′s and 2′s, right? but I’m getting only ones..

this object works well with intergers? or I’m doing something wrong?

You probably need to use explicit floats for all parameters, viz:

[brownian 1. 2. 0.5]

Otherwise you’re in the integer domain and the output range is 1 < = x <
2, which would explain your problem.

But I don’t know for sure. For Brownian motion I use lp.pfff from
Litter Power. It’s even a Starter Pack object. For more flexibility,
there’s lp.pvvv from Litter Pro.

Caveat: the syntax is a little different from Gerhard’s.

Hope this helps,
Peter

this object outputs random numbers excluding max,
maybe it was not a good choice for that situation:

#P window setfont “Sans Serif” 9.;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 558 232 73 196617 select 0 1 2 3;
#P button 524 142 15 0;
#P user rslider 562 140 145 23 4 1 0 0 1;
#P newex 548 201 87 196617 brownian 0 3 0.5;
#P newex 567 177 58 196617 unpack 0 0;
#P connect 1 0 4 0;
#P connect 3 0 1 0;
#P connect 2 0 0 0;
#P connect 0 0 1 1;
#P connect 0 1 1 2;
#P window clipboard copycount 5;

so.. the solution to use “brownian” with intergers is to add 1 to the
maximal value?

thanks again,
bernardo

Well, the Brownian model doesn’t really work with two integers anyway.
The brownian abstraction is trying to simulate calculations in the real
(float) domain by dividing the actual min/max into 65000 subdivisions.
That won’t fool a mathematician, but is probably good enough for a lot
of uses in Max. If you’re working with floats.

I’m not sure what sort of an effect you’re actually after.

If you’re looking for some kind of coin-flipper, perhaps with different
probabilities for “heads” and “tails”, you can build something
following the examples from the early Max random objects tutorials. Or
just take lp.bernie (Litter Starter Pack, URI below).

If you want something else… well, you can probably also do it with
Litter Power.

Hope this helps — Peter

RTC-lib and Litter give you many more options for generating events
based on random operations.
