Sample Editing Tutorial: Creating A Sine Wave

[RCM037224]

The absolute latest version of MT only gives me the option of NOISE under the GENERATORS menu when editing a sample. Did they do this on purpose?

Sorry to spoil the fun, but I don't see the point of this in Milkytracker, since there's already a function that creates perfect sine waves for you. Notice the "generators" near the bottom of the menu when you right click? In there it says "Sine...". PRess it, and it asks for number of periods and volume.

See my comment below. This video was created before the soundwave generators were implemented in milky.

Ah, didn't know that.

I should have added "But there's probably a reason for this vid" in the other comemnt, but I was running out of space :O)

thanks for this - just installed on my pocket pc!

Yo, u look like u usin a Super Nintendo to do dis!!! LOL!!!!!

[namayake]

There's no SNES port of MilkyTracker...yet. ;)

thats not really a sine wave, especially mathematically.  im sure its pretty close to our naked human eye, but computationally, its like a bird and a shoe.

[namayake]

I don't know enough of the math behind it to approve or disapprove of that statement. But I can assure you it sounds reasonably close. On a side note, the latest versions of MilkyTracker have sound wave generators. Really there is no reason to preform tricks like this to create sound waves anymore. I keep this video up purely for educational purposes. It might come in handy for other software.

there is always a reason to do this! if youre like us. people like us dont do these things cuz we have to, we do them cuz we can! fun times yo! but yeah, pretty damn close to the human naked ear, but think about how close is C2O and CO2, both seem ok right! know what I mean?! wtf!

n e way.. however you do it, keep making the sound!!!!!

[namayake]

haha ;)

synths don't normally have "true" sine waves. Sine waves, when speaking about music, refer to soft-tone waveforms.

i just watched this to learn about guitar, god there's so much to know!

[HLSDK]

It is when a direct current is imposed on an alternating current signal. It is like having a guitar's output. The sleeve of the jack is held at ground, but the tip oscillates above and below ground (positive and negative voltages).

If you hooked up a battery to that, it would be more positive or negative, so you would run it through a high pass filter with a very low cutoff to average the signal out.

what is dc offset?
