<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifn</em></span> -- function table number
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> (optional, default=0) -- initial phase (normalized table index 0-1)
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp36938136"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ares</em></span> -- output signal
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kamp</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>aamp</em></span> -- the amplitude of the output signal.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>acps</em></span> -- the frequency of the output signal in cycles per second.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>poscil</em></span> (precise oscillator) is the same as <a class="link" href="oscili.html" title="oscili"><em class="citetitle">oscili</em></a>, but allows much more precise frequency control, especially when using long tables and low frequency values. It uses floating-point table indexing, instead of integer math, like <span class="emphasis"><em>oscil</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>oscili</em></span>. It is only a bit slower than <span class="emphasis"><em>oscili</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
Since Csound 4.22, <span class="emphasis"><em>poscil</em></span> can accept also negative frequency values and use a-rate values both for amplitude and frequency. So both AM and FM are allowed using this opcode.
</p>
<p>The opcode <a class="link" href="poscil3.html" title="poscil3"><em class="citetitle">poscil3</em></a> is the same as <span class="emphasis"><em>poscil</em></span>, but uses cubic interpolation.</p>
<p>Note that <span class="emphasis"><em>poscil</em></span> can use deffered (non-power of two) length tables.</p>

Here is an example of the poscil opcode. It uses the file <a class="ulink" href="examples/poscil.csd" target="_top"><em class="citetitle">poscil.csd</em></a>.
