UltrasonicSynth Mozzi

Oscil

Oscil plays a wavetable, cycling through the table to generate an audio or control signal. The frequency of the signal can be set or changed, and the output of an Oscil can be produced with for a simple cycling oscillator, or for a particular sample in the table.

Soundtables

Look-up-tables and python scripts to generate tables or convert sounds. Includes ready-to-use wave tables and a few example samples. Also check out the other scripts in the python folder for templates to use if you want to do your own thing.

Smooth

A simple infinite impulse response low pass filter for smoothing control or audio signals. Smoothness sets how much smoothing the filter will apply to its input. Use a float in the range 0 – 1, where 0 is not very smooth and 0.99 is very smooth.

AutoMap

Automatically map an input value to an output range without knowing the precise range of inputs beforehand.
