[maxmsp] Random between +/- 128.0??

here's one of many:

#N vpatcher 10 59 610 459;
#P button 65 40 15 0;
#P window setfont "Sans Serif" 9.;
#P flonum 65 136 40 9 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 65 112 39 196617 - 128.;
#P newex 65 88 34 196617 / 10.;
#P newex 65 62 70 196617 random 2560;
#P connect 4 0 0 0;
#P connect 0 0 1 0;
#P connect 1 0 2 0;
#P connect 2 0 3 0;

It really helps to start thinking of numbers in max like this.

I also think of the possibilities by put "-" after random to make the number below 0....however, I still want to make "real" random number between +/-128.0 and it is must be float number, so the result will be something like "9.5, -4.8, 25.4, 46.7, 53.6, -42,1...."
