Antialiased rectangular (pulse) oscillator (multichannel) Use the rect~ object to generate an anti-aliased rectangle wave. Cycling '74 MSP oscillator MSP Synthesis (signal/float) frequency TEXT_HERE (signal/float) duty cycle TEXT_HERE (signal) sync input TEXT_HERE (signal) Output TEXT_HERE Initial frequency First argument sets the initial frequency of the oscillator. The default is 0. Pulse width An optional second argument sets the pulse width. The default is 0.5. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: Sets the frequency of the oscillator.

In middle inlet: Sets the pulse width of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a rectangular wave that spends equal amounts of time on the positive and negative edges of its cycle. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: Sets the frequency of the oscillator.

In middle inlet: Sets the pulse width of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a rectangular wave that spends equal amounts of time on the positive and negative edges of its cycle. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: Sets the frequency of the oscillator.

In middle inlet: Sets the pulse width of the oscillator. Signal is wrapped into the range 0-1. A value of 0.5 will produce a rectangular wave that spends equal amounts of time on the positive and negative edges of its cycle.

In right inlet: (optional) A sync signal. When the control signal crosses from below 0.5 to above 0.5, the oscillator resets itself. A phasor~ object works well for this purpose. The classic use is to set this control signal to your fundamental frequency and "sweep" the left frequency input in a range somewhere several octaves higher than the fundamental. Set the retrigger/reset threshold The word synctrig followed by a floating-point number changes the value at which the object resets itself (i.e., when the input signal crosses from below the specified number to being above it, rect~ will reset itself). An antialiased rectangular waveform. An ideal, straight-line rectangular wave generated in a computer contains aliased frequencies that can sound irritating. rect~ produces a nice, analog-esque output waveform.
