WaveWarp 2.0 Component
      
Signal Generators:
Functional Description
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.)
