Sinusoidal oscillator Use the cycle~ object to generate a periodic waveform. The default waveform is one cycle of a cosine wave. You can also use the wave~ object, which offers additional flexibility though slightly less optimization. Cycling '74 MSP oscillator MSP Synthesis Frequency TEXT_HERE Phase (0-1) TEXT_HERE Output TEXT_HERE Oscillator frequency (initial) The initial frequency of the oscillator Buffer name The name of a buffer~ object used to define the oscillator's wavetable. If a frequency argument is present, the buffer~ name follows the frequency. If no buffer~ name is given, cycle~ uses an internal 64-bit 16K cosine wavetable. Offset into the buffer (wavetable start) If a buffer~ name has been given, this defines the sample offset into the named buffer~ object's sample memory. cycle~ only uses the first channel of a multi-channel buffer~. Function depends on inlet Left inlet: frequency of the oscillator
Right inlet: phase of the oscillator in the range 0.0 to 1.0 Double-click to display buffer~ contents Use 512 samples of a buffer~ as a wavetable Set a buffer~ object to use as the wavetable, using the first 512 samples. If no name is given, the internal cosine wavetable with 16K samples will be used. Use the setall message to use an entire buffer~ as a wavetable. Use the entire contents of a buffer~ as a wavetable Set a buffer~ object to use as the wavetable, using the entire buffer~ length. This is in contrast to the set message which only uses the first 512 samples of the buffer~. Function depends on inlet Left inlet: frequency of the oscillator
Right inlet: phase of the oscillator in the range 0.0 to 1.0 Buffer name Buffer containing an external waveform. Setting the buffer~ with the attribute is analogous to sending the setall message. First sample of a buffer (if an external buffer is providing the waveform) TEXT_HERE Buffer size override flag Override the size of the buffer used for the wavetable. If using the set message the size will be 512, or if using the setall message the size will be the whole buffer~ length. Use this attribute to define a different size (the size should be a power of two). Setting this size to 0 will result in an effective size of 512 and setting it to -1 will result an effective size of the whole buffer~ length.

The wavetable can be changed using the 'set' message. This wavetable may be of any size, but historically was limited to 512 samples. A waveform (cosine by default) repeating at the specified frequency, with the specified phase.
