I can't find any tabosc~ object in pd. Is it an external ? I would like to play waveforms instead of a sum of oscillators. Should i use tabreceive~ ? Another related question: we got the osc~ object for a cosine oscillator, phasor~ for a sawtooth oscillator. But i'd like to use triangle, square or pulse oscillator too. What is the best way to generate such waveforms in pd and use them at any frequency ? BR nicolas

AFAIK if you're doing an additive synthesis thing you need as many osc~'s
as
partials. Which brings me to the following question for Miller:
Would it be difficult/possible to implement something similar to the Spawn function found in SuperCollider? Not that I want PD to head in SC
direction
but it certainly is a useful function.
Otherwise you can read tables filled with, say, waveforms into tabosc~ (am
I
right?) and this way you can have one osc read a complex waveform. But I have a feeling that this is not what you want to do.....
