Swept Sine Generator Built From Scratch

What it does

Demonstrates the versatility of WaveWarp's Signal Generators library. The Up-Down Ramp Control Generator is used to produce an envelope which drives both the frequency (via the Large Control Gain to covert from unity amplitude to Hertz in the audible range) and the amplitude of the Controllable Combo Oscillator.The resulting signal is a swept sine wave whose frequency and amplitude smoothly ramps up and down from zero to any desired frequency over any desired duration. The Audio Oscilloscope displays the signal in real-time.
