## fractalnoise

fractalnoise — A fractal noise generator.

## Description

A fractal noise generator implemented as a white noise filtered by a cascade of 15 first-order filters.

## Syntax

    ares fractalnoise kamp, kbeta

## Performance

kamp -- amplitude.

kbeta -- spectral parameter related to the fractal dimension

- 0 - white

- 1 - pink

- 2 - brown

## Examples

Here is an example of the fractalnoise opcode. It uses the file fractalnoise.csd.

Example 294. Example of the fractalnoise opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
