maths for noise added to frequency for analog modeling
Jul 14 2017 | 6:48 pm
I'm trying to find the proper maths to add bits of noise to the frequency of an analog modeling type synth. Namely so when I add this noise to the freq (say between -.1 and +.1) it changes the pitch of the synth the same amount whether the frequency is 55 or 440. I think I need to use logarithmic scaling or something but not positive on how this would work exactly

- Jul 14 2017 | 11:46 pmThanks Roman. I tried that but its still sounding off. It works well when I throw a snapshot in there but of course i wanna get it all in signal rate

- Jul 15 2017 | 3:56 pmI suggest using the noise signal as an exponent with a base of 2, and use that as a multiplier to vary the fundamental frequency. In that way, when the noise ranges from -1 to +1, it will cause a pitch variation of ±1 octave, whatever your fundamental frequency. Divide the amplitude of the noise by 1200 if you want to be able to represent pitch variation in cents. The rand~ object provides linearly-interpolated noise, with a new random value chosen at whatever rate you specify.

- Jul 31 2017 | 12:40 amthe MSP pow object has the inlets reversed (compared to the max object), that might be the case for gen, too.
- Jul 31 2017 | 3:09 amk Ill try that. thanks!
- Jul 31 2017 | 3:19 amnope that didnt work
