Somehow I have the feeling that the granite pattern was developed to use
the original noise generator function in such a way that it wouldn't suffer
from clamping (ie. the plateaus). However now that the new noise doesn't
suffer from the over-exaggeration problem, the values are too small for
the granite pattern, which hasn't been fixed for the new noise function.

  On the other hand, I don't know if it would be a good idea to "fix" the
granite pattern because it could then work wrongly with noise_generator 1.

  Perhaps it could be a good idea to make the granite pattern to use
noise_generator 1 by default (you could then change it in the usualy way
if you want it to use another generator).
