<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">ares <span class="command"><strong>adsynt</strong></span> kamp, kcps, iwfn, ifreqfn, iampfn, icnt [, iphs]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="id2742259"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iwfn</em></span> -- table containing a waveform, usually a sine. Table values are not interpolated for performance reasons, so larger tables provide better quality.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifreqfn</em></span> -- table containing frequency values for each partial. <span class="emphasis"><em>ifreqfn</em></span> may contain beginning frequency values for each partial, but is usually used for generating parameters at runtime with <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span>. Frequencies must be relative to <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span>. Size must be at least <span class="emphasis"><em>icnt</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iampfn</em></span> -- table containing amplitude values for each partial. <span class="emphasis"><em>iampfn</em></span> may contain beginning amplitude values for each partial, but is usually used for generating parameters at runtime with <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span>. Amplitudes must be relative to <span class="emphasis"><em>kamp</em></span>. Size must be at least <span class="emphasis"><em>icnt</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>icnt</em></span> -- number of partials to be generated
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> -- initial phase of each oscillator, if <span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> = -1, initialization is skipped. If <span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> > 1, all phases will be initialized with a random value.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="id2743255"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kamp</em></span> -- amplitude of note
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> -- base frequency of note. Partial frequencies will be relative to <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
Frequency and amplitude of each partial is given in the two tables provided. The purpose of this opcode is to have an instrument generate synthesis parameters at k-rate and write them to global parameter tables with the <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> opcode.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Examples">
<a id="id2743294"></a>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>
Here is an example of the adsynt opcode. It uses the file <a class="ulink" href="examples/adsynt.csd" target="_top"><em class="citetitle">adsynt.csd</em></a>. These two instruments perform additive synthesis. The output of each sounds like a Tibetan bowl. The first one is static, as parameters are only generated at init-time. In the second one, parameters are continuously changed.
