hsboscil — An oscillator which takes tonality and brightness as arguments.
An oscillator which takes tonality and brightness as arguments, relative to a base frequency.
ibasfreq -- base frequency to which tonality and brighness are relative
iwfn -- function table of the waveform, usually a sine
ioctfn -- function table used for weighting the octaves, usually something like:
f1 0 1024 -19 1 0.5 270 0.5
ioctcnt (optional) -- number of octaves used for brightness blending. Must be in the range 2 to 10. Default is 3.
iphs (optional, default=0) -- initial phase of the oscillator. If iphs = -1, initialization is skipped.
kamp -- amplitude of note
ktone -- cyclic tonality parameter relative to ibasfreq in logarithmic octave, range 0 to 1, values > 1 can be used, and are internally reduced to frac(ktone).
kbrite -- brightness parameter relative to ibasfreq, achieved by weighting ioctcnt octaves. It is scaled in such a way, that a value of 0 corresponds to the orignal value of ibasfreq, 1 corresponds to one octave above ibasfreq, -2 corresponds to two octaves below ibasfreq, etc. kbrite may be fractional.
hsboscil takes tonality and brightness as arguments, relative to a base frequency (ibasfreq). Tonality is a cyclic parameter in the logarithmic octave, brightness is realized by mixing multiple weighted octaves. It is useful when tone space is understood in a concept of polar coordinates.
Making ktone a line, and kbrite a constant, produces Risset's glissando.
Oscillator table iwfn is always read interpolated. Performance time requires about ioctcnt * oscili.
