Description

oscili reads table ifn sequentially and repeatedly at a frequency xcps. The amplitude is scaled by xamp. Linear interpolation is applied for table look up from internal phase values.

Syntax

ares oscili xamp, xcps[, ifn, iphs]

kres oscili kamp, kcps[, ifn, iphs]

Initialization

ifn(optional) -- function table number. Requires a wrap-around guard point. The table number defaults to -1 which indicates a sine wave.

iphs (optional) -- initial phase of sampling, expressed as a fraction of a cycle (0 to 1). A negative value will cause phase initialization to be skipped. The default value is 0.

Performance

kamp, xamp -- amplitude

kcps, xcps -- frequency in cycles per second.

oscili differs from oscil in that the standard procedure of using a truncated phase as a sampling index is here replaced by a process that interpolates between two successive lookups. Interpolating generators will produce a noticeably cleaner output signal, but they may take as much as twice as long to run. Adequate accuracy can also be gained without the time cost of interpolation by using large stored function tables of 2K, 4K or 8K points if the space is available.

Table ifn is incrementally sampled modulo the table length and the value obtained is multiplied by amp.

If you need to change the oscillator table with a k-rate signal, you can use oscilikt.
