Sources

The audio engine provides a variety of sound sources. Use the sound word (or snd for short) to select one.

Basic Oscillators

Name	Description
`sine`	Pure sinusoid, smooth and mellow
`tri`	Triangle wave, warmer than sine, naturally band-limited
`saw`	Bright sawtooth with anti-aliasing, rich in harmonics
`zaw`	Raw sawtooth without anti-aliasing, lo-fi character
`pulse`, `square`	Variable-width pulse wave with anti-aliasing
`pulze`, `zquare`	Raw pulse without anti-aliasing, 8-bit feel

pulse and pulze respond to the pw parameter (0.0-1.0) for pulse width. At 0.5 you get a square wave.

All oscillators support phase shaping for timbral variation:

Parameter	Range	Effect
`size`	0-256	Phase quantization (lo-fi, chiptune).
`mult`	0.25-16	Phase multiplier (harmonic overtones).
`warp`	-1 to 1	Power curve asymmetry.
`mirror`	0-1	Phase reflection point.

These are super useful to get the most out of your oscillators.

Add a sub oscillator layer to any basic oscillator:

Name	Description
`white`	Equal energy across all frequencies, bright and hissy.
`pink`	-3dB/octave rolloff, equal energy per octave, natural.
`brown`	-6dB/octave rolloff, deep rumbling, random walk.

Noise sources ignore pitch. Use filters to shape the spectrum.

Name	Description
`live`, `livein`, `mic`	Live audio input from microphone or line-in

All filter and effect parameters apply to the input signal.

Name	Description
`add`	Stacks 1-32 sine partials with spectral tilt, even/odd morph, harmonic stretching, phase shaping.

Parameter	Controls
`harmonics`	Harmonic content / structure.
`timbre`	Brightness / tonal color.
`morph`	Smooth transitions between variations.
`partials`	Number of active harmonics (1-32).

Native drum synthesis with timbral morphing. All share wave (waveform: 0=sine, 0.5=tri, 1=saw), morph, harmonics, and timbre parameters.

Name	Description
`kick`	Bass drum.
`snare`	Snare drum with tone/noise balance.
`hat`	Hi-hat.
`tom`	Tom drum.
`rim`	Rimshot.
`cowbell`	Cowbell.
`cymbal`	Cymbal.
