phasor~
Generate sawtooth signals
Description
Use the phasor~ object to generate sawtooth waves suitable for sample-accurate control and timing tasks. For smoother sounding sawtooth generation, use the bandlimited saw~ object instead. The ramp rate can be set by frequency (Hz), or as an interval using tempo-relative time format syntax .
Arguments
freq [auto]
Set the initial frequency in Hz, or as an interval using tempo-relative time format syntax .
Inlets
freq [auto]
Set the initial frequency in Hz, or as an interval using tempo-relative time format syntax .
phase [auto]
Set the phase of the waveform (from 0 to 1). Signal output continues from this phase.
Outlets
out [signal]
Sawtooth waveform that increases from 0 to 1 repeatedly at the specified frequency.
Fixed Attributes
These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.
lock [number] (default: 0)
Setting lock to 1 keeps phasor~ synchronized to a the global transport.
When using lock 'Scheduler in Overdrive' and 'in Audio Interrupt' must be enabled for accurate timing. These settings can be changed in 'Options'-> ' Audio Status '.
Dynamic Attributes
These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object
freq [auto]
Set the initial frequency in Hz, or as an interval using tempo-relative time format syntax .
phase [auto]
Set the phase of the waveform (from 0 to 1). Signal output continues from this phase.
reset [bang]
