Description::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Band Limited ImPulse generator. All harmonics have equal amplitude.
|
||
|
|
This is the equivalent of 'buzz' in emphasis::MusicN:: languages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
emphasis::Synth-O-Matic:: (1990) had an impulse generator
|
||
|
|
called blip, hence that name here rather than 'buzz'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is improved from other implementations in that it will crossfade
|
||
|
|
in a control period when the number of harmonics changes,
|
||
|
|
so that there are no audible pops. It also eliminates the divide in
|
||
|
|
the formula by using a 1/sin table (with special precautions taken for
|
||
|
|
1/0). The lookup tables are linearly interpolated for better quality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
warning::
|
||
|
|
This waveform in its raw form could be damaging to your ears at high
|
||
|
|
amplitudes or for long periods.
