LFPar parabolic oscillator


LFPar.ar(freq, iphase, mul, add)


A sine-like shape made of two parabolas. It has audible odd harmonics and is non-band-limited.

Output ranges from -1 to +1.


freq - frequency in Hertz

iphase - initial phase offset in cycles ( 0..1 )



// a plot

{ LFPar.ar(Line.kr(100, 800, 0.1)) }.plot(0.1);


// 440 Hz wave

{ LFPar.ar(440) * 0.1 }.play;


// modulating frequency:

{ LFPar.ar(XLine.kr(100, 2000, 10)) * 0.1 }.play;


// amplitude modulation:

{ LFPar.kr(XLine.kr(1, 200, 10)) * SinOsc.ar(440) * 0.1 }.play;


// used as both Oscillator and LFO:

{ LFPar.ar(LFPar.kr(3, 0.3, 200, 400)) * 0.1 }.play;
