Sources have no input but output a signal to be used elsewhere in the system. The output block size, number of channels, and sample rate are constructor arguments. They can be entered manually in the module properties, but will default to those of the system input pin if left empty. If a source module is used within a subsystem then the properties of the source module will be based on the first input pin of the subsystem. The parameters of the source can be changed at runtime via its inspector.

Warning: Sources are often very loud (0 dB) and must be followed by a scalar to reduce the level.

The following source modules are available in the Source folder:

SineGen 

Sine wave generator with no smoothing

SineSmoothedGen

Sine wave generator with smoothing

Source

Continuously copies data from internal buffer to output wire

DCSource 

Continuously outputs DC value to output wire

ImpulseSource

Periodically outputs an impulse; period specified in samples

ImpulseMsecSource

Periodically outputs an impulse; period specified in msec

PeriodicSource

Continuously outputs a stored array of data. The internal buffer length is specified by module properties.

PulseGen

Generates periodic rectangular pulse, with period and on time specified in msec

Randi 

Generates slowly varying random noise with linear interpolation between sample values

Sawtooth

Generates a sawtooth wave (ramps up linearly from 0 to 1, then repeats) with specified frequency

WhiteNoise 

Generates uniformly distributed white noise

PinkNoise 

Generates pink noise by applying an IIR filter to internally generated white noise

Oscillator 

Generates oscillations with specified frequency and start phase
