Example B01.wavetables.pd, shown in Figure <A HREF="#fig02.12">2.12</A>, implements a wavetable
|
|
oscillator, which plays back from a wavetable named "table10". Two new Pd
|
|
primitives are shown here. First is the wavetable itself, which appears at
|
|
right in the figure. You can "mouse" on the wavetable to change its shape and
|
|
hear the sound change as a result. Not shown in the figure but demonstrated in
|
|
the patch is Pd's facility for automatically calculating wavetables with
|
|
specified partial amplitudes, which is often preferable to drawing waveforms by
|
|
hand. You can also read and write tables to (text or sound) files for
|
|
interchanging data with other programs. The other novelty is an object class:

<A ID="2554"></A>a wavetable oscillator. The "4" indicates that this class uses 4-point
|
|
(cubic) interpolation. In the example, the table's name, "table10", is
|
|
specified as a creation argument to the <TT>tabosc4~</TT> object.
|
|
(You can also switch between wavetables dynamically by sending appropriate
|
|
messages to the object.)
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Wavetables used by <TT>tabosc4~</TT> must always have a period
|
|
equal to a power of two; but as shown above, the wavetable must have three
|
|
extra points wrapped around the ends. Allowable table lengths are thus
|
|
of the form <IMG
|
|
WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
|
|
SRC="img274.png"
|
|
ALT="${2^m} + 3$">, such as 131, 259, 515, etc.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Wavetable oscillators are not limited to use as audio oscillators. Patch
|
|
B02.wavetable.FM.pd (not pictured here) uses a pair of wavetable oscillators in series.
|
|
The first one's output is used as the input of the second one, and thus
|
|
controls its frequency which changes periodically in time.
