I'm trying to understand Csound's gen09, and I tried this line:
gigen ftgen 1, 0, 16384, 9, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 180
The way I understood how gen09 works, the second partial in this case is supposed to cancel the first, because they are both at the fundamental frequency (1
), and the phase is inverted (0
and 180
). But instead of silence, I get a wave that looks like this:
What exactly is happening here to create this waveform?
