cos()

Description

Cosine oscillator/math function. In Syntropy, feeding it a phase such as X or 2*X creates a periodic waveform.

Arguments

• x: phase or signal input; for pitched oscillators use X for the played MIDI note

Typical Values

Use moderate values first, then increase modulation depth while listening for clipping, aliasing, or excessive filter resonance.

Example

cos(X)

Notes

For pitched oscillator functions, X already contains the current MIDI note pitch and transpose information. Prefer saw(X), sin(X), or pwm(X, 0.4) unless you intentionally want an octave or ratio shift such as 0.5*X or 2*X.
