Sine Wave

What it is

A wavetable signal generator. A Waveform selector picks the shape — Sine, Triangular, Square, Random (uniform), Random (telegraph), or a custom wavetable loaded from file — while Frequency and Amplitude set the pitch and level. Skew and Length reshape the stored cycle, and an Interpolation selector reads the table either as a staircase (zero-order hold) or with linear (first-order) interpolation for a smoother output. It has no audio input and one audio output; like every WaveWarp signal generator it can run at its own sample rate on the board.

How it works

The selected waveform is pre-computed into a wavetable once, then scanned by a table-lookup oscillator whose step size tracks the Frequency parameter; the Interpolation setting chooses a staircase or linear read between table entries. One sample-frame is produced per tick, in step with WaveWarp's sample-per-sample engine.
