l To remove a colour, right-click on the coloured button
l Period - the number of seconds that the noise takes to loop
l Count - the number of times that the noise should loop over the length of the preset
l X - the horizontal scale (higher numbers will produce more variation horizontally)
l Y - the vertical scale (higher numbers will produce more variation vertically)
l Depth - the coarseness of the noise
