gaussi — Gaussian distribution random number generator with interpolation.
Gaussian distribution random number generator with controlled interpolation between values. This is an x-class noise generator.
krange -- the range of the random numbers (-krange to +krange). Outputs both positive and negative numbers.
gauss returns random numbers following a normal distribution centered around 0.0 (mu = 0.0) with a variance (sigma) of krange / 3.83. Thus more than 99.99% of the random values generated are in the range -krange to +krange. If a mean value different of 0.0 is desired, this mean value has to be added to the generated numbers (see example below).
For more detailed explanation of these distributions, see:

xamp -- range over which random numbers are distributed.
xcps -- the frequency which new random numbers are generated.
Here is an example of the gaussi opcode. It uses the file gaussi.csd.
