macOS Quartz Composer: Reducing Random Number 'Frequency'

[FelixMC]

So, I have this screen saver displaying a particle system, whose x and y coordinates are derived from 'Random' type patches. The "Variability" setting is set to .5, so the patch is already outputting numbers that are closer to each-other, making the particle system move slower, then if the "variability" was set to 0 or 1. However, it still seems like it moves too fast.. Any other way of slowing it down, turn down the frequency maybe through some external patches?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Tiger, so I'm obviously using QC v 2.1.1.
I've also tried to replicate the results of the "Random" patch by using the javascript patch, but without much luck..

Hi there! had the same problem, just try to set the Variability to about 0.1. try playing around that number

Thanks for the reply
I've actually figured a way to replicate the random patch within the javascript patch, and I've managed to make the 'frequency' controllable by using a interpolation patch, and having the user specify the Duration of that patch.
I needed help with this because users demanded a speed controller for my Screen Saver, Explosive Reflected, and since the particle system coordinates were derived from a random patch, I needed a way to slow it down
You can check out the screen saver or just the qc file, by going to the link above
