DESCRIPTION

Random number generator macros in Core.

Rand - Generate a random number between [0 and 1.0)

IRand - Generate a random 32-bit integer.

Linear Congruentual RNGs that are ideal for Computer Music use. Fast. And random. And they run for a long time wihtout repeating. What more can one say?

The quest to liberate Core from Primary continues.

(I guess there is one more thing to say after all. These RNGs aren't particularly better or worse than the Primary level rand macro. They just save you the hassle of having to route a random number from primary level).

Robin, thanks for these. I guess I didn't pay attention as to when NI included random number generators in core. Have you compared yours and theirs?

It seems to be: NI's voting has a defect and my tag is vanished. Good work Robin.
