ImpulseSourceFract32

Overview

Source module which periodically outputs an impulse

Discussion

This module has a single mono output pin and generates a periodic impulse of value 1; all other output samples are set to 0. The variable .period specifies the period of the generation process in samples. .period can be adjusted at run-time. If .period = SAMPLERATE, then the module generates an impulse every second. If .period = 1, then the module outputs a DC constant. If .period = 0, then the module stops output values.

As with all source modules, you have to set the blockSize and sampleRate of the output pin. The module is initialized so that it fires immediately; sample 0 of block 0 is set to 1.0f.

Matlab Usage

File Name: impulse_source_fract32_module.m 
 M=impulse_source_fract32_module(NAME, BLOCKSIZE, SAMPLERATE) 
 Source module which periodically outputs an impulse.  An impulse is 
 a single non-zero sample of value 1.  The period can be adjusted at 
 run-time. 
 Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    BLOCKSIZE - number of samples per output channel.  By default, 
                BLOCKSIZE = 32. 
    SAMPLERATE - sample rate of the output signal, in Hz.  By default, 
                 SAMPLERATE = 48000.
