tri~
Anti-aliased triangular oscillator.
Description
tri~ generates a triangle wave whose component frequencies are resistant to aliasing.
Arguments
frequency [auto]
Sets the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz.
pulsewidth [auto]
Sets the duty cycle of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a triangular wave that spends equal amounts of time sloping positively and negatively.
Inlets
frequency [auto]
Sets the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz.
pulsewidth [auto]
Sets the duty cycle of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a triangular wave that spends equal amounts of time sloping positively and negatively.
syncPhase [auto]
A sync signal, used when @sync is on. When the control signal crosses from below 0.5 to above 0.5, 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 triangular waveform. An ideal, straight-line triangular wave generated in a computer contains aliased frequencies that can sound irritating. tri~ 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.
pulsewidth [auto]
Sets the duty cycle of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a triangular wave that spends equal amounts of time sloping positively and negatively.
reset [bang] (default: 0)
Banging this attribute will reset the object to its default state.
syncPhase [auto]
A sync signal, used when @sync is on. When the control signal crosses from below 0.5 to above 0.5, 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.
