[PD] Weighted Randomness

2007-10-12 Thread B. Bogart
Hey all, Does someone have a very simple implementation of a weighted randomness patch where the distribution of the numbers is read from a table? I see Miller's moses example, but I would like more graphic control of density. Something like: -- Gives an even chance to all values

what you're describing. It ought to be in cvs under externals/moocow/weightmap. Also, Yves' [probalizer] does basically the same thing, and also includes a GUI and a training mode for the weights. marmosets, Bryan On 2007-10-12 19:51:34, B. Bogart [EMAIL PROTECTED] appears

Hey all, This is a nice idea, but the bottom line is that its too late for that. People already depend on many old (first) funny externals like Markex Counter, which is still in some of my older patches. Its the oldest counter, so should it be the default? too bad its inlets are arranged

Hi Marius, Thanks for taking the dive and contributing ideas to the wiki. I'll strike that task from your todo list. How is the wiki template going? I think the discussion about externals was well played out, what have you ended up deciding? (Will your stylesheet system work on vanilla PD 40?)

Why not do [gemmouse 8 4] for 2:1 window? Of course you have to keep track of your own window size and alter the coords in responce, but that is largely the PD way anyhow, to keep track of what your doing yourself. You could just normalize from 0 to 1 and rescale based on your window size? As
