HENON

Henon map noise generator.

in RTcmix/insts/neil


quick syntax:

HENON(outsk, dur, AMP[, A, B, X, Y, UPDATE, PAN)

CAPITALIZED parameters are pfield-enabled for table or dynamic control (see the maketable or makeconnection scorefile commands). Parameters after the [bracket] are optional and default to 0 unless otherwise noted.

Param Field Parameter Units Dynamic Optional Notes  
p0 output start time - no no    
p1 duration - no no    
p2 amplitude multiplier - yes no    
p3 a - yes yes default: 1.4  
p4 b - yes yes default: 0.3  
p5 x - yes yes default: 1  
p6 y - yes yes default: 1  
p7 update rate for p3-p6   times per second yes yes default: 1000
p8 pan percent-to-left yes yes default: .5  

p3-p6: Try values within a few tenths of the defaults given here.

Parameters labled as Dynamic can receive dynamic updates from a table or real-time control source.

Function from the Henon map by Michel Henon.


Usage Notes

HENON is a chaotic noise generator. Pfields p3-p6 default to classical Henon map values. Varying these parameters will lead to a variety of different results. Try values within a few tenths of the defaults given.

Pfield p7 (update rate) is how many times per second p3-p6 are updated and affects the frequency. Values greater than 0 and less than sample rate divided by 5 are valid.

Sample Score

   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("HENON")

   HENON(0, dur=100, amp=4000, a=1.4, b=0.3, x=1, y=1, update=1000, pan=0.5)
