GEN16

Creates a table from a starting value to an ending value.

Syntax

f # time size 16 val1 dur1 type1 val2 [dur2 type2 val3 ... typeX valN]

Initialization

size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement). The normal value is power-of-2 plus 1.

Note

The end value is only reached when the table length is power-of-2 plus 1. (This length is crucial for use with the tab generator.)

beg -- starting value

dur -- number of segments

type -- if 0, a straight line is produced. If non-zero, then GEN16 creates the following curve, for dur steps:

beg + (end - beg) * (1 - exp( i*type/(dur-1) )) / (1 - exp(type))

end -- value after dur segments

Here are some examples of the curves generated for different values of type:

Tables generated by GEN16 for different values of type.

Note

If type > 0, there is a slowly rising (concave) or slowly decaying (convex) curve, while if itype < 0, the curve is fast rising (convex) or fast decaying (concave). See also transeg.
