pulse variation
puls
puls(id)dim(n)
Builds object id type timer puls size n, a pitch signal
(1 every n frame, elsewhere 0).
Note:
exec puls(id) incrementes the timer.
exec puls incrementes all timers.
In interaction anyflo mode the timers are automatically incremented.
Options:
dim(n1,n2): produces a stair signal: 0 on n1 frames,
1 on n2 frames.
dim(da)sin: produces a sinusoidal signal: sin(num*da), with
num = frame number.
puls(id)
Returns the signal value and incrementes it.
puls(x,y1,y2,p,phi,e)
Returns y=y1+(y2-y1)*(1+(sin(2*PI*x/p+phi))^e)/2
Notes:
1) This function returns y varying sinusoidally between y1 and y2 with a period p,
and a phase phi when x varies linearly.
2) If e is absent, the rise to power t is not performed (pure sinusoidal variation).
3) If e belongs to the interval ] 0,1[ the sinusoid is more "curved"
4) If e belongs to the interval ]1.4 [ the sinusoid is "tense"
5) If several vectors (y1,y2,p,phi,e) are defined, puls returns the average of the signals corresponding.
Example:
y1=-1;y2=1;p=2*PI;phi=PI/2;
for(x=0,5,.2){$puls(x,y1,y2,p,phi);NL;}
