class:: OscN
summary:: Noninterpolating wavetable oscillator.
related:: Classes/COsc, Classes/Osc, Classes/VOsc, Classes/VOsc3
categories::  UGens>Generators>Deterministic


Description::

Noninterpolating wavetable lookup oscillator with frequency and phase
modulation inputs. It is usually better to use the interpolating
oscillator  link::Classes/Osc:: .


classmethods::

method::ar, kr

argument::bufnum
Buffer index.  the buffer size must be a power of 2.
The buffer should NOT be filled using Wavetable format (b_gen
commands should set wavetable flag to false. Raw signals (not
converted with asWavetable) can be saved to disk and loaded
into the buffer.


argument::freq
Frequency in Hertz.

argument::phase
Phase offset or modulator in radians.

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

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

Examples::

code::

// compare examples below with interpolating Osc examples.

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

SynthDef("help-OscN",{ arg out=0,bufnum=0;
	Out.ar(out,
		OscN.ar(bufnum, 500, 0, 0.5)
	)
}).play(s,[0,0,1,b.bufnum]);

)
b.free;



(
// noninterpolating - there are noticeable artifacts
// modulate freq

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

SynthDef("help-OscN",{ arg out=0,bufnum=0;

		OscN.ar(bufnum, XLine.kr(2000,200), 0, 0.5)
	)
}).play(s,[\out,0,\bufnum,b.bufnum]);

)
b.free;

(
// sounds very different than the Osc example
s = Server.local;
b = Buffer.alloc(s, 512, 1);
b.sine1([1.0], true, true, true);
