noise in white and pink

noise in white and pink

2001-03-28 by vee cee oh too

are the noise ouputs on the '100 and '101 calibrated
accurately for room testing and other frequency
response experiments?  ie. is the white 'equal energy
per Hz' and the pink 'equal energy per octave' ?

also, and i suppose i could just A. test for this or
B. RTFM, what is the freq response of the pink NG ?

regards
mark scetta

The '101 White is VERY white! So it's OK.

The Pink is not maniacal. It is an approximation, based on cost. The Moog
modular
is closer to 'Pinkness', but it has 4x the components.

What is red noise, saw it in a prototype ince and something Peavey is
been working on forever
Thx

I don't believe there is an "official" definition, as there is with pink &
white. It gets used a lot to describe the ultr-low frequency randomness,
like the 101's "random vibrato."

Here's one overview:

Don't know how this applies to synthesis exactly.

A funny read. I liked *Orange Noise*

To summarize (in increasing high frequency content order):

Red noise - very low frequency content, almost subaudio, akin to slow 
random.

Pink noise - equal energy per octave, sounds like low-Q wind (open 
your car windows at 70 mph)

White noise - equal energy per unit bandwidth, sounds higher pitched 
like steam.

Blue noise - energy increases with frequency, has the most high 
frequency content of all.

You can obtain practical audio approximations of these using white 
noise and highpass or lowpass filters, so the terms sound more exotic 
than they really are.
