# this is a script for generating a wavetable file
|
|
# a wavetable file consists of a one-dimensional array of samples representing one period of a waveform
|
|
# metadata includes:
|
|
# - file version (for program compatibilty)
|
|
# - binary format (float, double, int32, etc.)
|
|
# - domain (eg phase is represented from [0, 2pi) )
|
|
# - range (determined by datatype, e.g. float=[-1,1], int32=[-2^15, 2^15-1])
|
|
# - waveform RMS (for loudness normalization)
|
|
# - sample count
|
|
# the synth program uses the filename, not any metadata
|
|
|
|
# this script uses the input function to calculate samples
|
|
# if you want a custom wavetable, copt/edit/modify the example function (i used desmos for brainstorming)
|
|
# import this script and call generateWavetable(processFunction) to generate a custom wavetable
