Description::

Linear interpolating wavetable lookup oscillator with frequency and
phase modulation inputs.


This oscillator requires a buffer to be filled with a wavetable format
signal. This preprocesses the Signal into a form which can be used
efficiently by the Oscillator. The buffer size must be a power of 2.


This can be achieved by creating a Buffer object and sending it one of
the "b_gen" messages ( link::Classes/Buffer#-sine1::, link::Classes/Buffer#-sine2::, link::Classes/Buffer#-sine3:: ) with the wavetable flag set
to true.


This can also be achieved by creating a link::Classes/Signal:: object and sending it
the 'asWavetable' message, thereby creating a Wavetable object in the required format. Then, the wavetable data may be transmitted to the server using the link::Classes/Buffer#*sendCollection:: or link::Classes/Buffer#*loadCollection:: methods.


classmethods::

method::ar, kr

argument::bufnum
Buffer index.

argument::freq
Frequency in Hertz.

argument::phase
Phase offset or modulator in radians.
(Note: phase values should be within the range +-8pi. If your phase values are larger then simply use code::.mod(2pi):: to wrap them.)

argument::mul
Output will be multiplied by this value.

argument::add
This value will be added to the output.

Examples::

code::

(
s = Server.local;
b = Buffer.alloc(s, 512, 1);
b.sine1(1.0/[1,2,3,4,5,6], true, true, true);

SynthDef("help-Osc",{ arg out=0,bufnum=0;
	Out.ar(out,
		Osc.ar(bufnum, 200, 0, 0.5)
	)
}).play(s,[\out, 0, \bufnum, b.bufnum]);
)

(
s = Server.local;
b = Buffer.alloc(s, 512, 1);
b.sine1(1.0/[1,2,3,4,5,6], true, true, true);

SynthDef("help-Osc",{ arg out=0,bufnum=0;
	Out.ar(out,
		Osc.ar(bufnum, XLine.kr(2000,200), 0, 0.5)// modulate freq
	)
}).play(s,[\out, 0, \bufnum, b.bufnum]);
)
