## vco2ift

vco2ift — Returns a table number at i-time for a given oscillator frequency and wavform.

## Description

vco2ift is the same as vco2ft, but works at i-time. It is suitable for use with opcodes that expect an i-rate table number (for example, oscili).

## Syntax

    ifn vco2ift icps, iwave [, inyx]

## Initialization

ifn -- the ftable number.

icps -- frequency in Hz. Zero and negative values are allowed. However, if the absolute value exceeds sr/2 (or sr * inyx), the selected table will contain silence.

iwave -- the waveform for which table number is to be selected. Allowed values are:

- 0: sawtooth

- 1: 4 * x * (1 - x) (integrated sawtooth)

- 2: pulse (not normalized)

- 3: square wave

- 4: triangle

Additionally, negative iwave values select user defined waveforms (see also vco2init).

inyx (optional, default=0.5) -- bandwidth of the generated waveform, as percentage (0 to 1) of the sample rate. The expected range is 0 to 0.5 (i.e. up to sr/2), other values are limited to the allowed range.

Setting inyx to 0.25 (sr/4), or 0.3333 (sr/3) can produce a “fatter” sound in some cases, although it is more likely to reduce quality.

## Examples

Here is an example of the vco2ift opcode. It uses the file vco2ift.csd.

    instr 1

    icps = p4
    ifn  vco2ift icps, -2, 0.5	;with user defined waveform
    print ifn
    asig oscili 1, 220, ifn		; (-2), and sr/2 bandwidth

    i 1 3 2 2000
    i 1 6 2 20000

    e
    </CsScore>
    </CsoundSynthesizer>

Its output should include a line like these:

    instr 1:  ifn = 22.000
    instr 1:  ifn = 8.000
    instr 1:  ifn = 3.000

See the example for the vco2 opcode too.
