A random noise generator is pretty handy when working with music, and building one using a micro-controller can be pretty trivial. So it’s nice when someone comes along and builds it from a few analog ...

The Noise sample code associated with this paper includes an implementation of Perlin noise, which is useful for generating natural-looking textures, such as marble and clouds, for 3D graphics. A test ...

Two years ago we featured SimplyNoise, a dead-simple white noise generator. A recent update adds in additional sounds, features, and an iOS app for white-noise naps on the go. Originally SimplyNoise ...

Here's a pro tip: if you want to make this editor smile, hand me something that makes a bunch of noise. There are few things more satisfying than pressing some buttons and turning a few knobs to ...

Random numbers are useful beasts, in particular for cryptographers who use them to generate their codes. But how best to make random numbers at useful speeds? The question is intimately linked to the ...

Behind every coincidence lies a plan -- in the world of classical physics, at least. In principle, every event, including the fall of dice or the outcome of a game of roulette, can be explained in ...
