saw~
Anti-aliased sawtooth oscillator.
Description
saw~ generates a sawtooth wave whose component frequencies are resistant to aliasing.
Arguments
frequency [auto]
Sets the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz.
Inlets
frequency [auto]
Sets the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz.
syncPhase [auto]
A sync signal, used when a sync signal is connected. When the control signal changes direction, the oscillator resets itself. A phasor~ object works well for this purpose. The classic use is to set this control signal to your fundamental frequency and "sweep" the left frequency input in a range somewhere several octaves higher than the fundamental.
Outlets
out1 [signal]
An antialiased sawtooth waveform. An ideal, straight-line sawtooth wave generated in a computer contains aliased frequencies that can sound irritating. saw~ produces a nice, analog-esque output waveform.
out2 [signal]
The phase of the oscillator.
Dynamic Attributes
These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object
frequency [auto]
Sets the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz.
reset [bang] (default: 0)
Banging this attribute will reset the object to its default state.
syncPhase [auto]
A sync signal, used when a sync signal is connected. When the control signal changes direction, the oscillator resets itself. A phasor~ object works well for this purpose. The classic use is to set this control signal to your fundamental frequency and "sweep" the left frequency input in a range somewhere several octaves higher than the fundamental.
