WhiteNoise

Overview

Uniformly distributed white noise generator

Discussion

Generates uniformly distributed random values at the sample rate in the specified range. Internally, the module uses a random number generator and then scales the values into the proper range.

Note: if a constant RNG seed is required, please use the Rand module.

Matlab Usage

File Name: white_noise_module.m 
 M=white_noise_module(NAME, SR, NUMCHANNELS, BLOCKSIZE) 
 Creates a white noise generator for use in the Audio Weaver environment. 
 The module has a single multichannel output pin. 

 Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    SR - sample rate of the output. 
    NUMCHANNELS - number of interleaved channels in each output pin. 
    BLOCKSIZE - number of samples per output channel.
