DC Offset

What it is

Generates an audio signal with a selectable constant amplitude. In itself, this is not audible (since the human ear only responds to changes in amplitude). However, it is useful when constructing DrawingBoards for removing DC offsets (which can arise as the result of digital signal processing). Stereo signals have separate offsets for left and right channels. NOTE: the sample rate at which this component is executed can be arbitrarily set via the "Sample-rate setting for Signal Generators and Input ASCII files" button (or the "Sample-Rate Setting" command under the "Edit" menu) on the toolbar, which is activated whenever the component is selected on the DrawingBoard. Equivalently, it can be set via the dialog box which (i) appears when the component is initially dragged on to the DrawingBoard or (ii) is activated using the right-mouse-button when the component is selected on the DrawingBoard. This procedure allows the component to either (i) enforce a user-determined sample rate on the downstream component(s), or (ii) to inherit the sample rate from the downstream component(s). Different signal generators can run at different sample rates on a DrawingBoard, as long as the rules of connectivity for multiple sample rates are adhered to (see the WaveWarp Users' Guide for more information.)
