MULTIWAVE -- wavetable/additive synthesis instrument
in RTcmix/insts/std quick syntax:MULTIWAVE(outsk, dur, AMP, WAVETABLE, FREQ1, AMP1, phase1, PAN1, ... FREQN, AMPN, phaseN, PANN)CAPITALIZED parameters are pfield-enabled for table or dynamic control (see the maketable or makeconnection scorefile commands). Parameters after the [bracket] are optional and default to 0 unless otherwise noted.
p0 = output start time (seconds)
p1 = duration (seconds)
p2 = overall amplitude (absolute, for 16-bit soundfiles: 0-32768)
p3 = reference to wavetable
p4, p5, p6, p7, ... pN-3, pN-2, pN-1, pN
starting with p4, the next N pfields are quadruplets describing an individaul oscillator:
- frequency (Hz)
- amplitude (relative multiplier of overall amplitude (p2))
- initial phase (0-360 degrees, not updateable)
- pan (0-1 stereo; 0.5 is middle)
there is no limit on the number of quadruplets that may be specified.
p2 (amplitude), p4 (freq), p5 (partial amp), p7 (pan), and the same
parameters for additional partials, can receive updates from a table
or real-time control source.
p3 (wavetable) should be a reference to a pfield table-handle.

MULTIWAVE can be used to create a wide range of sounds. Using PField controls, each individual part can be controlled with a fair degree of independence, equivalent to an efficient version of many WAVETABLE notes running simultaneously. Usage NotesThis is a fairly straightforward instrument. Because all the fundamental parameters for each oscillator used may be specified (amp envelope, phase, pan, frequency (enveloped!)), true additive synthesis can be achieved using MULTIWAVE. For basic wavetable synthesis, use WAVETABLE.For rapidly-varying control envelopes, you may want to set the reset rate higher than the default 1000 times/second. Use the reset scorefile command to do this. MULTIWAVE can produce mono or stereo output. Sample Scoresvery basic:
rtsetparams(44100, 2)
load("MULTIWAVE")
ampenv = maketable("line", 1000, 0,0, 1,1, 2,0)
wave = maketable("wave", 1000, 1)
srand()
MULTIWAVE(0, 4.3, ampenv*35000, wave,

slightly more advanced:

line = maketable("line", 1000, 0,0, 1,1, 9,1, 10,0)
rfreq = 1
freq1 = makerandom("linear", rfreq, min=200, max=1000, seed=1)
freq1 = makefilter(freq1, "smooth", 90)
lag = 60
amp1 = makeconnection("mouse", "Y", 0, 1, 0, lag, "amp")
pan1 = makeconnection("mouse", "X", 1, 0, .5, lag, "pan")
MULTIWAVE(0, dur, amp * line, wave,
freq1, amp1, phase1=0, pan1,
freq1 * 1.05, amp1, phase1, pan1 * .7)
fun stuff!
