<P>

The next three examples demonstrate the sound of the varying pulse
|
|
width, graph its spectrum, and contrast the waveshaping pulse generator.
|
|
Skipping to Example F05.ring.modulation.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig06.14">6.15</A>), we show the
|
|
simplest way of combining the pulse generator with a ring modulating
|
|
oscillator to make a formant. The pulse train from the previous example is
|
|
contained in the <TT>pd pulse-train</TT> subpatch. It is multiplied
|
|
by an oscillator whose frequency is controlled as a multiple of the
|
|
fundamental frequency. If the multiple is an integer, a harmonic sound
|
|
results. No attempt is made to control the relative phases of the components
|
|
of the pulse train and of the carrier sinusoid.

The next example, F06.packets.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig06.15">6.16</A>), shows how to
|
|
combine the stretched wavetable pulse train with a sampled sinusoid to realize
|
|
movable formants, as described in Section <A HREF="node95.html#sect6.carrier">6.3</A>. The pulse
|
|
generator is as before, but now the carrier signal is a broken sinusoid.
|
|
Since its phase is the fundamental phase times the center frequency quotient,
|
|
the sample-to-sample phase increment is the same as for a sinusoid at the
|
|
center frequency. However, when the phase wraps around, the carrier phase
|
|
jumps to a different place in the cycle, as was illustrated in Figure
|
|
<A HREF="node95.html#fig06.07">6.7</A>.
|
|
