+A simple melody consisting of a lead voice, played back with a triangle |
|
+waveform, 16 upper harmonics, and a somewhat reduced volume. The lead |
|
+is accompanied by a bass voice, using the standard sine wave. The sample |
|
+rate is 16000 Hz: |
|
+ |
|
+ cat seq-data/lead.txt | \ |
|
+ ./osc -w triangle -r 16000 -h16 -V 0.2 | \ |
|
+ aplay -r 16000 & |
|
+ cat seq-data/bass.txt | ./osc -r 16000 | aplay -r 16000 |
|
+ |
|
+The above example is also available through the command `make test` |
|
+in the root directory. |
