[PD] brown/grey noise in pd

[Matt Barber]

Here's GrayNoise. SC's version flips random bits of a 32-bit integer and
then outputs the result. Since we don't have 32-bit integers in Pd, it has
to be done with 24 bits. No matter, though, because the range between -1
and +1 has what, 25-bit resolution? So not much difference.

Source:

void GrayNoise_next(GrayNoise *unit, int inNumSamples)
{
​    ​
float *out = ZOUT(0);
​    ​
RGET
​    ​
int counter = unit->mCounter;
​    ​
LOOP1(inNumSamples,
​        ​
counter ^= 1L << (trand(s1,s2,s3) & 31);
​        ​
ZXP(out) = counter * 4.65661287308e-10f;
​    ​
);
​    ​
unit->mCounter = counter;
​    ​
RPUT
}

void GrayNoise_Ctor(GrayNoise* unit)
{
​    ​
SETCALC(GrayNoise_next);
​    ​
unit->mCounter = 0;
​    ​
GrayNoise_next(unit, 1);
}
