Oscillators, Harmonics and Wavelength Resource




Oscillators, Harmonics and Wavelength Explained Simply

The Synth School website is now closed and "under construction" but this video survived on YouTube.  It's a very basic and clear explanation with great animations to show how to create saw and square waves from the original sine wave.  Video: 10 minutes.

Hardcoded class of musical notes

Here is a class I've written using the chart located on this page: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/audio/audio.html#notes. The explanation in the comments should hopefully be sufficient to understand how to use it. It should be helpful for anyone wanting to work with creating music in ChucK. I may in the future add some scales to it, but since there is such a wide variety
of scales available in music it would probably be more efficient for those to be added by the individual. For scales, using an array would probably be the best way to go. The code is below the jump.
