<h2>Description</h2>

<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">ares <span class="command"><strong>buzz</strong></span> xamp, xcps, knh, ifn [, iphs]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp15154624"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifn</em></span> -- table number of a stored function containing a sine wave. A large table of at least 8192 points is recommended.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> (optional, default=0) -- initial phase of the fundamental frequency, expressed as a fraction of a cycle (0 to 1). A negative value will cause phase initialization to be skipped. The default value is zero
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp15156520"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>xamp</em></span> -- amplitude
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>xcps</em></span> -- frequency in cycles per second
</p>
<p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>buzz</em></span> units generate an additive set of harmonically related cosine partials of fundamental frequency <span class="emphasis"><em>xcps</em></span>, and whose amplitudes are scaled so their summation peak equals <span class="emphasis"><em>xamp</em></span>. The selection and strength of partials is determined by the following control parameters:
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> -- total number of harmonics requested. New in Csound version 3.57, <span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> defaults to one. If <span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> is negative, the absolute value is used.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>buzz</em></span> and <a class="link" href="gbuzz.html" title="gbuzz"><em class="citetitle">gbuzz</em></a> are useful as complex sound sources in subtractive synthesis. <span class="emphasis"><em>buzz</em></span> is a special case of the more general <span class="emphasis"><em>gbuzz</em></span> in which <span class="emphasis"><em>klh</em></span> = <span class="emphasis"><em>kmul</em></span> = 1; it thus produces a set of <span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> equal-strength harmonic partials, beginning with the fundamental. (This is a band-limited pulse train; if the partials extend to the Nyquist, i.e. <span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> = int (sr / 2 / fundamental freq.), the result is a real pulse train of amplitude <span class="emphasis"><em>xamp</em></span>.)
</p>
<p>
Although <span class="emphasis"><em>knh</em></span> may be varied during performance, its internal value is necessarily integer and may cause <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">pops</span>”</span> due to discontinuities in the output. <span class="emphasis"><em>buzz</em></span> can be amplitude- and/or frequency-modulated by either control or audio signals.
</p>
<p>
N.B. This unit has its analog in <a class="link" href="GEN11.html" title="GEN11"><em class="citetitle">GEN11</em></a>, in which the same set of cosines can be stored in a function table for sampling by an oscillator. Although computationally more efficient, the stored pulse train has a fixed spectral content, not a time-varying one as above.
