[PD] brown/grey noise in pd

[Matt Barber]

"True" pink noise is likewise impossible: if it's equal energy per octave,
then since there is no "lowest octave," any energy in any octave implies
infinity at 0hz. The fexpr~ approach I gave accumulates, but imagines a
"container" with "walls" at +/- 1.0 where whatever was doing the random
walk "bounces" off the wall. It should have a color within auditory range
similar to unrestricted integration. A lot depends on what you want to do
with the noise (it's not necessarily an audio source).

Convolution is a pretty good way to go. I've seen a number of filters that
try to distribute phase randomly across the frequency magnitude curve. Also
remember that the 6dB dropoff is with respect to log frequency, whereas FFT
is linear in frequency.
