randomizing array lookup

[sir honey]

Hi again,

I really do appreciate all of the help here on the forum, thanks.

anyway, I'm having yet another problem.

I'd like to randomize lookup of an array:

CODE:

SinOsc s1 => dac;

float tone[8];

130.81278265 => tone[0];
146.83238396 => tone[1];
164.81377846 => tone[2];
174.61411572 => tone[3];
195.99771799 => tone[4];
220.00000000 => tone[5];
246.94165063 => tone[6];
261.62556530 => tone[7];

.6 => s1.gain;


while (true)
{
tone[Std.rand2(0,7)] => s1.freq;

3::second => now;

}


is there some problem here? It seems the Std.rand2 should grab a random reference (0-7) and send the corresponding float to the SinOsc. This is probably a RTFM, but any help would be great.

who's down with OOP?

i'm running your code now.
it works just fine.
what do you want to extend it to? i'll check this out heheeh.

cool

shortly after I posted, I realized that I would need the explicit operator @=> (I think thats what that's called), to actually assign those freq values to any index of the array. When I made this revision, everything was fine.

Just wondering how you got my code to run, kijjaz? 'cause I'm pretty sure it isn't kosher.

hmm it runs fine here.
and it chose frequency from the array correctly as it shoud be. ^_^
