Subject: summary to post requesting a sine wave generation program From: "G. Robert Arrabito" <Robert.Arrabito(at)DRDC-RDDC.GC.CA> Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 18:20:03 -0400Hi listers, I am posting a summary to my earlier request for a program running under Windows '9x/2000/NT for generating sine waves. I would like to thank those who wrote directly to the list and those who e-mail me privately. Please take note that I shall summarize only the latter messages. Rob ================== begin of summary ======================================== John Ffitch <jpff(at)codemist.co.uk> said that Csound can generate sine waves (and much else); runs of Windows (and everything else) and is free. Mark Huckvale <M.Huckvale(at)ucl.ac.uk> says that his ESynth program (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/resource/sfs/esynth.htm) is a free Windows program for demonstrating and learning about harmonic analysis/synthesis. Here is the blurb: "ESynth is a program designed to explain the harmonic analysis and synthesis of signals. With ESynth you can create signals by adding together individual sinusoidal waveforms (sinewaves) and study the resulting waveform and spectrum. You can also perform an analysis of an input waveform, to see how a given sound can be represented in terms of a sum of sinewaves." Jayaganesh Swaminathan <ganesh(at)ele.uri.edu> wrote a Matlab program for generating sine waves. He can make available the .m file. Clemens Kuhn <cl.kuhn(at)web.de> suggests http://www.timo.esser.dsl.pipex.com/ttg.htm Graeme Moffat <moffatgd(at)mcmaster.ca> says that he uses three programs for sine wave generation. His first choice is usually Matlab 6.5 using the wavwrite function, but he'll also use either Audacity (open source, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) or Adobe Audition when the need arises. The latter two can generate sound at anything up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution in a very straightforward manner. Audacity is probably the best for simplicity and low cost. ================== end of summary ======================================== -- Robert Arrabito Defence R&D Canada - Toronto (formerly DCIEM) 1133 Sheppard Avenue West P.O.
