Re: [korgpolyex] Re: Random sample and hold - please explain

a seemingly simple problem that isn't simple at all...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

there's random, and then there's *RANDOM*. even the definition of random 
can be debated among physicists, philosophers, engineers, cryptographers, 
mathematicians, computer scientists...

suffice it to say that a lookup table of 256 "randomly shuffled" values 
(as currently used in the HAWK-800) should be "random enough" for *most* 
musical applications.

 	"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers

 	 instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more
 	 bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states
 	 that this has already happened."
