I've been playing around with Gem a little, mostly [curve] the last couple of days. My goal with it is to create a waveform like line along the X and Y axis. The way I've done it so far, I'm getting there, but the results are far less than adequate, using [tripleRand] with no information passing from the third random number, giving me just X and Y. It's also very inelegant.

I'll admit, I don't fully understand the curve points, and [curve] might not even be the best option for what I'm looking to do. Any advice? Here's the file, anyways.

Well, I decided to forget about making it in Gem for the moment until I learn more about it. I went the table route, instead.

[randomF 2]

[- 1] [counter]

[tabwrite sheet]

Not the most visually pleasing, but it does the trick, I guess.

this ?

Sorry, maybe I didn't describe myself too well.

It's not that I wanted to display the waveform of an input signal, I wanted to create a waveform like visual representation of a random sequence of numbers in Gem. The idea being that I would have a line of whatever length, from -1 to 1 along the X-axis. This would be a sort of sheet music, the lowest point of every "Tick" being the lowest I choose to go on the instrument, and the highest "Tick" being the highest. Every other point inbetween is an approximation of the pitch. I wanted to do it in Gem as a jumping off point to a more interactive experience.
