Smooth Random

Envelopes & ModsmoothrandomLight CPU

Interpolated random walk (−1..1) — organic modulation.

What it does

Interpolated random modulation source.

Wraps daisysp::SmoothRandomGenerator. Slews smoothly between random targets at the chosen rate; output is −1..1 (offset/scale with a Mixer if you need 0..1).

Parameters

  • Rate (Hz)

    rate
    Default 1Range 0.01 … 50

    How often a new random target is chosen, in Hz. The output does not jump to it — it slews smoothly, so this sets the speed of the drift rather than a step rate. Fractions of a Hz give the slow wander that suits filter cutoff or tuning; past a few Hz it becomes an unpredictable wobble, and at the top of the range it is closer to a noise source than a modulator. Applied per sample, so the port can be modulated.

Smoothly slews to a new random target at the set rate — output ranges −1..1. Great for slow, organic drift (filter cutoff, pitch wobble). Rate is per-sample (modulatable).
