Description

oscilikt is very similar to oscili, but allows changing the table number at k-rate. It is slightly slower than oscili (especially with high control rate), although also more accurate as it uses a 31-bit phase accumulator, as opposed to the 24-bit one used by oscili.

Syntax

ares oscilikt xamp, xcps, kfn [, iphs] [, istor]

kres oscilikt kamp, kcps, kfn [, iphs] [, istor]

Initialization

iphs (optional, defaults to 0) -- initial phase in the range 0 to 1. Other values are wrapped to the allowed range.

istor (optional, defaults to 0) -- skip initialization.

Performance

kamp, xamp -- amplitude.

kcps, xcps -- frequency in Hz. Zero and negative values are allowed. However, the absolute value must be less than sr (and recommended to be less than sr/2).

kfn -- function table number. Can be varied at control rate (useful to “morph” waveforms, or select from a set of band-limited tables generated by GEN30).

Examples

Here is an example of the oscilikt opcode. It uses the file oscilikt.csd.
