Test Tone

Test Tone is an audio sine wave generator with its output quantized to correspond with the pitches of a chromatic scale (A = 440 Hz) over

anine-and-one-half octave range. It is provided primarily as a conve- nient way of generating test tones and tuning references.

Bal controls the relative level of left and right output attenuation. When Bal=-50, the left output has no attenuation, and the right out- put is fully attenuated. When Bal=0, neither output is attenu- ated. When Bal=+50, the left out- put is fully attenuated and the right output has no attenuation. Level and Bal can be patched to a global LFO to get tone bursts, etc. Pitch accuracy is better than 1/4 cent.
