# GEN10

GEN10 -- Generate composite waveforms made up of weighted sums of simple sinusoids.

## Description

These subroutines generate composite waveforms made up of weighted sums of simple sinusoids. The specification of each contributing partial requires 1 pfield using GEN10.

## Syntax

f # time size 10 str1 str2 str3 str4 ...

## Initialization

size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement).

str1, str2, str3, etc. -- relative strengths of the fixed harmonic partial numbers 1,2,3, etc., beginning in p5. Partials not required should be given a strength of zero.

| Note

- These subroutines generate stored functions as sums of sinusoids of different frequencies. The two major restrictions on GEN10 that the partials be harmonic and in phase do not apply to GEN09 or GEN19.

  In each case the composite wave, once drawn, is then rescaled to unity if p4 was positive. A negative p4 will cause rescaling to be skipped.
