I was just wondering, does anyone know how to create impulse and geiger waveforms, I think these are defualt waveforms in Reaktor, anyone know is they can be created by combining other wave types like you can create pulse waves ect?

These would come in handy for retro signal processing or drum machine building!

By impulse, do you mean just an impulse? If so, you can use the impulse module. Or code one on your own, should be something like this:

streamout out; float impulse = 1.0;

out = impulse; impulse = 0.0;

What are the geiger waveforms? (I'll google 🙂)

edit: I just find all these physics stuff, interesting stuff but very little that leads me to what the "geiger waveform" should be like. I guess it could have something to do with the movement of the particles or something! 🙂

Thanks for the code stefancrs, by impulse i mean a waveform thats similar to one with a ADSR set with sync and just makes clicks and you can control the width of the click. Its a waveform in Reaktor but i don't have much details on it sorry.

The geiger waveform is very similar to an impulse but the spacing between the clicks is randomized so it sounds similar to a real geiger counter.

Uhm. What's the differense between the "impulse" waveform and a normal pulse waveform?

Im not really sure, i think it must be to do with the spacing between each pulse or something, possibly the shape as well. On the NI forum someone could probably give you a lot more detailed description than i could im guessing. 🙂

If you really want the waveform you'll probably have to know what it's like first 🙂

Well its basically thats all i know so far, i will try to get some more detailed information next time i get to use reaktor again 🙂

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
