summary:: Skewed random number generator.
related:: Classes/ExpRand, Classes/IRand, Classes/NRand, Classes/Rand, Classes/TExpRand, Classes/TIRand, Classes/TRand
categories:: UGens>Random

Description::

Generates a single random float value in linear distribution from
code::lo::  to  code::hi:: , skewed towards
code::lo::  if  code::minmax::  < 0, otherwise
skewed towards  code::hi:: .


classmethods::

method::new

argument::lo
Lower limit of the output range.

argument::hi
Upper limit of the output range.

argument::minmax
The output is skewed towards code::lo:: if code::minmax:: < 0, otherwise skewed towards code::hi::.

Examples::

code::

(
SynthDef("help-LinRand", { arg out=0, minmax=1;
	Out.ar(out,
		FSinOsc.ar(
			LinRand(200.0, 10000.0, minmax),
			0, Line.kr(0.2, 0, 0.01, doneAction: Done.freeSelf))
	)
}).add;
)

//towards hi
(
Routine({
	loop({
		Synth.new("help-LinRand"); 0.04.wait;
	})
}).play;
)

//towards lo (doesn't work like that yet)
(
Routine({
	loop({
		Synth.new("help-LinRand", [\minmax, -1]); 0.04.wait;
	})
}).play;
)
