mc.*~ deviate by integer range not float range
Dec 06 2018 | 9:08 pm
Curious if there's a way to use the deviate message to specify only deviating between integers rather than floats. I want an incoming sig~ value to be multiplied by a deviating integer. Right now when I use deviate it only seems to allow for a deviation of values in a float range. Is there a way to change that behavior of deviate. The final value may still be a float since the sig~ value is a float, I just want to make sure it's only multiplied by an integer. Patch attached to explain further.

I still need the object to return floats but what I'm hoping is to find a way where the deviation values are always truncated.For example if the sig~ was a value of 0.5 and I used mc.*~ with a (deviate 2 2) message it would only return either, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0. Right now (deviate 2 2) gives me any float value between 0.0 and 4.0.
