hey folks!
I need a 5 second sine wave that oscillates between 500 and -500 and lasts for 20 seconds. any advice? not sure how to change the parameters of the osc~ object!

using pd vanilla.

Thanks in advance!

by the way, what are my options beside osc? are there other easily accessible waveform options?

cheers!

@nico also! the osc~ object has a thick line coming out of it, so I can't connect it straight to a number box, which I what I want to do... I know there's something I can use to make it a thin line, but I can't remember what!
Thanks again,
N

@nico you could do it like that:

edit: i think i do not understand the question right. what do you mean with a 5 second sine wave that lasts for 20 seconds?

hi, you have 2 options:
option1: use a metro with snapshot~ to convert the signal from osc~ to message rate
option2: use a control-rate lfo in the first place: use a metro with a wrapping counter, or maybe even [line] to index into the [sin] object or read from a table/array that contains the sine function. you could also use either lfo object from the nusmuk-utils or else libraries or c_lfo from rjlib (from rjdj) which all do this.

(in order to get it into the range of -500 to 500 just multiply by 500)
