Phase values in Sample Editor

Question

Hi SSC,

Just wondering what measure correspond the range [0,1] in the phase parameter of the Sample Editor? Is it in radians? If so is it possible to convert it to degrees? What is the best approach for having a phase continuous control in degrees on a oscillator?

Creative regards

Hi Luis, are you asking about how to control the phase in the Wave editor? A Sample Sound? or an Oscillator?

For continuous control over the phase of the Oscillator, you could start this way:

Check FrequencyModulation

Set MaxMI to: Double pi * 2

For the Modulator, use a Constant (with !Phase) in the Value field

What is the end result you'd like to achieve? Phase modulation?

Hi SSC thanks for your quick answer.
Actually is on both: Wave editor on Fourier waveform building where the value is between 0,1(is it radians?) and on an Oscillator for a continuous control (in degrees preferably). Hope is clear ...

Answer 1

In the Wave editor (Generators>Fourier) as well as in the Oscillator (when MaxMI = Double pi * 2 and Modulation is set to Frequency), the phase range from 0 to 1 corresponds to a range in radians from 0 to 2π (which corresponds to 0 to 360 degrees).  The phase is linear so to convert from degrees to the (0,1) value, divide your desired value in degrees by 360.

Got it! Thanks!
