whats that sine?

edited November 13 in General app discussion

hello,

i am under the impression that the sine wave that is put out by the oscillator mini module is not a pure sine wave as i can hear a major third in there. is that true?

edit: in fact i think the is some sort of amplitude modulation going on, as different overtones as playing when playing different notes of the keyboard.. maybe thats my wireless headphones? or is that intended?

cheers!

    I’d guess it’s weird wireless stuff. I took a look at it under a spectrogram and only saw one peak. Also when the ear here’s raw oscillators for to long it can sort of start to make up sounds that aren’t there in my experience. Anyway I attached a photo of the spectrogram of the raw sine from the mini oscillator.

    also just double checking you didn’t accidentally click sine-sqr which does have added harmonics, cause I’ve done that a few times and been confused myself.


  • I notice you used an external plugin for a spectrogram there parkerfrost, I’ve found out by accident recently there is a scope and spectrogram built in that you can access anywhere in the signal chain by pressing and holding the audio connector sine wave symbol thing:


  • Could you be clipping or using polyphony?

  • @lisson_ldn Thank you! I had no idea. That’s such a nice feature

  • @prehm are you sure that the setting on the mini oscillator module was set to "sine"?

    because the "2 saws detuned" setting on the mini oscillator module would be able to create a major 3rd above.


  • Yes, 100% sure :)

    I‘ll test it again with some wired headphones tomorrow to see if it persists.

  • No problem :)

    I was just double checking that because it can easily be done and I've heard no issues on my end.

    Could you screenshot your patch or that section of your patch please?
