[PD] request for ideas for a simple noisy unpitched synth

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Nicholas,

well, it often helps to understand what kind of technique produces the 
kind of sound you're after. Another good technique for complex, 
"concrete" sounding sounds is granular synthesis... but then you have to 
start with some kind of soundfile. Try my Particle Chamber patch and see 
if it does something you like:
