Oscillator troubles

Post by PnkMyo »

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have been trying for days to get this to work.

So, I'm trying to make a simple oscillator module, right ? WELL, I've been having some trouble. The oscillator is way out of tune. I've tried so many methods, so many numbers, so much stuff... I can't get it to sound right now matter what I do. And I've looked a lot of places for answers, even here on the forums, but... Nothing. This stuff doesn't feel very well documented, but, eh, it's fine. Most of it is self-explanatory... EXCEPT for this.

Code: Select all

   if (cvJack.IsConnected()){
      cvValue = cvJack.GetValue() * 131;
   } 
Here's what I have now ^
A friend suggested 131. It didn't work.

Is anyone able to help me with this ? >:

I think this thread might help: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=974&hilit=volts

You'll find good volts to frequency math in there.

Okay, so I've looked through there... And this is what I've got now.
Maybe I'm blind, but it's not working too well.

Code: Select all

   if (cvJack.IsConnected()){
      cvValue = cvJack.GetValue();
   } 
   
   double x = cvJack.GetValue();
   
   if (outputJack.IsConnected()){   
      osc.SetFrequency((55.0*2*(x+0.25))  + coarseValue + fineValue);
      if (sawsineBool == 0){
      outputJack.SetValue(osc.GetSineValue());
      }
      if (sawsineBool == 1){
      outputJack.SetValue(osc.GetTriangleValue());
      }
           osc.AdvanceSample(); 
      }
      

I've already tried ^ in the place of the * between 2 and (...
It just gave me an error.
I dunno, I'm very confused. I also barely slept, so brain no work good :L

I'm getting closer... But I'm still not there yet.

Code: Select all

      osc.SetFrequency((Math.round(55.0 * Math.round(x * (x + .25))))  + coarseValue + fineValue);
^ This was after MANY different iterations... I'm still WAY off, though. It's overly complicated, too >:

By the way, I forgot to say this, but thank you so much for helping me ;-;

SOLVED !!! IT WORKS !!!!!!
My friend helped me with this ! :D
I'm so happy ;u;

Code: Select all

   double x = cvJack.GetValue();
   
   if (outputJack.IsConnected()){   
       osc.SetFrequency(
     55 * Math.pow(2, x)
);
For those who may need it, who are dumb like me...
(It was so OBVIOUS ! I can't believe this ! ...Oh right, lack of sleep.)
