[PD] noise range?

[nate]

hello
i'm trying to port an analog synth to pd. one of the parts in the
rather confusing schematics of the synth requires a white noise
generator with a "range" control. Not sure i understand it (or that it
is a crucial bit of the synth for that matter), but if it means the
amplitude range, using [clip~] on a [noise~] would do the trick,
right?
Maybe someone with experience on analog synths can throw some light into this?
