Generating simple waveforms

The Simple Synthesis tool is used to generate simple waveforms of a given shape, pitch, and length.

Simple Synthesis dialog

1.From the Tools menu, choose Synthesis, and choose Simple from the submenu. The Simple Synthesis dialog appears.

2.From the Waveform shape drop-down list, choose a shape to specify the shape of a single period of the current operator's waveform.

3.In the Length box, specify the length (in seconds) of the generated waveform.

4.In the Start Frequency box, specify the frequency of the waveform.

5.If you want to sweep a range of frequencies, select the End Frequency check box and specify an ending frequency in the box.

Select the Log Sweep check box if you want to sweep the range logarithmically; when the check box is cleared, the sweep is linear.

6.Use the Amplitude fader to set the peak level of the waveform.

Note: When you choose Noise in the Waveform shape drop- down list, the amplitude is affected by the specified cutoff frequency.

7.From the Insert new waveform at drop-down list, choose a position to determine where the waveform is placed in the data window.

8.Click OK.
