@section{description}


A wavetable lookup oscillator which can be swept smoothly across
wavetables. All the wavetables must be allocated to the same size.
Fractional values of table will interpolate between two adjacent tables.
This unit generator contains three oscillators at different frequencies,
mixed together.


This oscillator requires at least two buffers 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 link::Classes/Buffer:: object and sending it one of
the "b_gen" messages ( sine1, sine2, sine3 ) with the wavetable flag set to true.


This can also be achieved by creating a link::Classes/Signal:: object and sending it
the link::Overviews/Methods#asWavetable#asWave@section{table}
  message, saving it to disk, and having the server load
it from there.


If you use Buffer objects to manage buffer numbers, you can use the
[*allocConsecutive] method to allocate a continuous block of buffers.
See the link::Classes/Buffer:: helpfile for details.


@section{note}
 

VOsc3 requires the b_gen sine1 wavetable flag to be ON.
