Subsections

element, elist: define one or more elements

An element is the smallest specifiable portion of a waveform.

Each element has:         # An identifier (a name), An amplitude (between 0-4096, but this can be reset with the range command, see below), and A duration (given in samples).

The element command: define one element

element command lets you define a single element:

    *    element                  # command to define an element
    name:         e6              # set the identifier
    amplitude=    250             # its amplitude
    samples=      25              # its duration in samples

The elist command: define a list of elements

elist allows you to define a number of elements in a row.

    *    elist
    name prefix:         e       # prefix for all the elements
    starting number =    0       # initial number
    name:   e0
    amplitude=           1000
    samples=             10
    name:   e1
    amplitude=           2000
    samples=             20
    name:   e2
    amplitude=           3000
    samples=             30
    name:   e3
    amplitude=           4000
    samples=             40
    name:   e4
    amplitude=           /       # end input with the '/' character
