_WAVE defines the waveform shape for a specified audio channel when used with SOUND or PLAY.

Syntax

_WAVE voice&, waveDefinition%%([index&])[, frameCount&]

Parameters

voice& specifies for which of the four audio channels the sound waveform shall be set.
waveDefinition%%([index&]) defines the shape of the sound wave for the specified voice. This parameter must be the name of an array of _BYTEs with at least 2 elements. Each element (sample frame) in the array must have a value in the range of -128 to 127. An optional index can be used to specify the starting point in the array.
frameCount& specifies the number of elements (sample frames) used to define the shape of the sound.

Description

The _WAVE statement enhances the versatility of the SOUND or PLAY commands.
By using a numeric array to define the shape of a sound wave, you can produce more specific and unique types of sounds.
Each element of the array specifies a amplitude value. When combined, these values form a curve that represents the shape of the waveform.
Audio channels can be panned to the left, right, or center using SOUND or PLAY.
Waveforms specified with _WAVE have a waveform ID of 10. See SOUND and PLAY for more details regarding waveforms.
By default, custom waveforms are initialized as a sine wave with 256 sample frames.
The _WAVE command was designed to resemble the WAVE command found in AmigaBasic.
