class:: MantissaMask
|
|
summary:: Reduce precision.
|
|
categories:: UGens>Filters>Nonlinear
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description::
|
|
|
|
Masks off bits in the mantissa of the floating point sample value.
|
|
This introduces a quantization noise, but is less severe than linearly
|
|
quantizing the signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
classmethods::
|
|
|
|
method::ar, kr
|
|
|
|
argument::in
|
|
The input signal.
|
|
|
|
argument::bits
|
|
|
|
The number of mantissa bits to preserve. A number from 0 to 23.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::mul
|
|
Output will be multiplied by this value.
|
|
|
|
argument::add
|
|
This value will be added to the output.
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
|
|
// preserve only 3 bits of mantissa.
|
|
{ MantissaMask.ar(SinOsc.ar(SinOsc.kr(0.2,0,400,500), 0, 0.4), 3) }.play
|
|
|
|
// the original
|
|
{ SinOsc.ar(SinOsc.kr(0.2,0,400,500), 0, 0.4) }.play
|
|
|
|
// the difference.
|
|
(
|
|
{
|
|
var in;
|
|
in = SinOsc.ar(SinOsc.kr(0.2,0,400,500), 0, 0.4);
|
|
Out.ar(0, in - MantissaMask.ar(in, 3));
|
|
}.play
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
// preserve 7 bits of mantissa.
|
|
// This makes the lower 16 bits of the floating point number become zero.
|
|
{ MantissaMask.ar(SinOsc.ar(SinOsc.kr(0.2,0,400,500), 0, 0.4), 7) }.play
|
|
|
|
// the original
|
|
{ SinOsc.ar(SinOsc.kr(0.2,0,400,500), 0, 0.4) }.play
|
|
|
|
// the difference.
