SineSmoothedGen

Overview

Smoothly varying sine wave generator

Discussion

Sine wave generator, with parameters for controling frequency and start phase. This is a source module and requires that you specify the properties of the output pin (number of channels, blockSize, and sample rate) at construction time. The smoothing coefficient allows for changes to the frequency parameter to be exponentially smoothed (first order IIR) at the sample rate.

Internally, this modules uses the sin() function from the C math library. The instantaneous frequency (which is the phase increment between samples) is smoothed on a sample by sample basis. If you do not need smoothed behavior, use the more efficient sine_gen_module.m instead.

Type Definition

CODE

typedef struct _ModuleSineSmoothedGen
{
    ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance;            // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
    FLOAT32 freq;                                 // Frequency of the sine wave, in Hz.
    FLOAT32 smoothingTime;                        // Time constant of the frequency adjustment operation, in msec.
    FLOAT32 startPhase;                           // Starting phase of the sine wave, in degrees.
    FLOAT32 smoothingCoeff;                       // Smoothing coefficient.
    FLOAT32 phase;                                // Instantanteous phase and also starting phase.
    FLOAT32 phaseIncTarget;                       // Target for the sample to sample phase increment. Essentially the target frequency.
    FLOAT32 phaseInc;                             // Instantaneous sample to sample phase increment.
} ModuleSineSmoothedGenClass;
