# Class WaveSynth

java.lang.Object
net.paulhertz.pixelaudio.WaveSynth

public class WaveSynth extends Object
Implements a combination of color organ and additive audio synth. Animates pixels using phase shifting of audio generators in `waveDataList`. WaveSynth is organized around properties, such as gain (i.e. loudness or brightness) and gamma (a sort of contrast setting), and data objects. The data objects include a a bitmap, mapImage, that is a Processing PImage instance for the image representation of the WaveSynth, a PixelAudioMapper that allows the WaveSynth to mediate between audio data and image data, arrays for the WaveSynth's audio signal and the image data ordered by the PixelAudioMapper signal path, and an array of WaveData objects, waveDataList, that holds the individual sine wave components of the WaveSynth with their frequency, amplitude, phase, and other properties. There are also a series of properties concerned with animation and video output. When a WaveSynth is used to produce color patterns, each WaveData object in the waveDataList controls a color. The colors of the various WaveData objects are added together, much as the audio sine waves are to produce audio, with the brightness of each color determined by the amplitude of the controlling sine wave. The WaveSynthAnimation example code provides a graphical user interface for editing the WaveSynth properties and the individual WaveData objects. Experimenting with it to get an idea of what WaveSynth can do to produce patterns.

  - ### renderPixel

    public int renderPixel(int frame, int pos, ArrayList<WaveData> wdList)
    Render one pixel, return its RGB value. NOTES Our basic equation: ::::: sample amplitude = sin(initial phase + phase shift + frequency * i * (TWO_PI/n)) ::::: Restated, in two parts: wd.phaseInc = (wd.cycles * TWO_PI)/animSteps; mapInc = TWO_PI / mapSize; float val = (float) (Math.sin(wd.phaseTwoPi - frame * wd.phaseInc + wd.freq * freqShift * pos * mapInc) + woff) * wscale + wd.dc; Instead of incrementing phase at each step, we subtract (frame * phase increment) from the initial phase: instead of adding, we subtract so that animation data files give the same result in previous implementations. And yes, I have forgotten the original reasons for subtracting. For the latest version: We now let the WaveData object calculate the signal: this is much more flexible and barely affects the time
