[sdiy] VERY cool/bizarre: Buchla noise

[Metrophage]

Why I was guessing that it is not random was because of the audible
'thump', like a badly timed loop. I was figuring that even if it
repeated, random distribution of frequencies would mean that the
transition from end to beginning would still sound just as smooth as
any other instance.
