Function Waveform generation through additive and sound- synthesis, including frequency-and amplitude modulation.

Parameter Wave (Oszillator) What waveform will be used for the oscillator is determined here : Sin : Sine Tri : Triangle Saw : Sawtooth Sqr : Square Wave/Pha. (Phase) Phaseshift (0-360 Degrees) Curve Editing/Range Tool to let you create a smooth linear line between two sliders. Click thefirst then range and then the second. Curve Editing/Mode Here you can choose how to move or flip the sliders with vertical arrows : Akt : current slider All : all sliders Pos : all positive sliders Neg : all negative sliders Curve Editing/Nr Number of the high tone. Curve Editing/Val Amplitude for the high tone Miscellaneous/SLen Length of the sound Miscellaneous/OnePer Calculates the length of one period using the current rate and puts the result into SLen. Miscellaneous/SRat Playbackrate of the sample. Can be entered as rate, note or choosen from the period-window Miscellaneous/Volume (Scale) Volume of the waveform Miscellaneous/MaxVol Calculates the volume for optimum dynamics. Miscellaneous/Frq (Pitch) Basispitch of the sound to be generated. This can happen directly or throughthe period-window.It's advisable (read:really good) to choose a "C" as a note so you can usethe result in any music program easily. Obertones (SVal) This area has 64 sliders for all the obertone-parts. If the slider's in thethe middle (value=0), then this high tone won't be incorporated into theresulting waveform. Obertones/horiz. arrows Horizontal moving of the lists in steps of one or five. Obertones/vert. arrows Vertical moving of the list or the current slider in steps on one or five. Obertones/F-Gadget Flip. Vertically mirrors the list or the current slider. Frequency (P1) Factors for frequency-modulation Amplitude (P2) Factors for amplitude-modulation

Notes Every sound consists of one basic tone and many "high" tones. Frequencies of these "high" or upper tones are a multiples of that of the basic tone. With the help of this operator you can build very complex waveforms by entering the different high tones. It might be a good idea to load the example files and take a look or listen in to the resulting waveform. Every high tone has it's own volume setting. The "val" will show it to you in numbers. This value should decline with a rising number of high tones (chance for overdrive:). Positive values are added and negative subtracted. You can produce intersting results for example by taking a basic sample made at "C-2" and another at [C-2] + ( ([C#2]-[C-2]) / 4 ) Some examples : C-0 65.4063913 67.35102453 C-1 130.8127827 132.7574159 C-2 261.6255653 265.5148317 C-3 523.2511306 531.0296635 You now mix these two samples with Mix with a 50/50 setting. This gives you a sample that sounds a bit etheral, alive and fatter.
