Sine waves, sidechaining, and a deeper kick drum question

Hi all,
I found the following tutorial on sidechainng a sine wave to create a deeper sounding kick drum and tried to do it, but I'm going wrong somewhere.
http://www.generate-music.com/QT/L8_SinewaveTutorial.mov
He says to use a test tone generator to create a sine wave at 55 hz and export that as an audio track. I'm not quite sure how to do that. I saw a test oscillator plug-in when you create an audio track, so I set that up to about 55hz and hit record, and it just gives me that test tone but it doesn't look like anything recorded.
Also, when he puts the Channel EQ, Expander, and Noise Gate on the Aux 2 audio track, I see a "SineWav..." channel strip setting with those 3 plug-ins...is this an existing strip setting that I just can't find, or did he manually place the 3 plug-ins and then save it as "SineWav..."?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
You can export the 55 Hz sine wave, just do a new empty session, create an instance of the tone generator, set ti 55 Hz, turn it up (lower the volume of your speakers) and bounce a few bars of it.
Then you'll have your 55 Hz audio file ready for use. Import it into the session you'll want to use it on.
As far as the channel preset, he robably made that one himself. No worries, just match what he did.
Cheers

  • How do I simulate sine waves up and down several triangular waveforms?

    I need to simulate a number of sine waves at about 10 or 20 Hz and run these up and down a number of triangular waves. I am using the "Simulate Signal" box which generates the sine waves but am not sure what or how to connect to this to "ramp" the sinusoidal waves up and down triangular waves. The triangular waves would run at about 1 Hz.
    thanks
    Martin

    Martin,
    It seems as if you could use a second "Simulate Signal" VI, set it for a triangle pattern at your desired frequency, and then add the resulting waveform to the sine waveform. If I run that in a loop, I get a nice ramping sine wave (see attached image).
    Hope it helps,
    John

  • Simultaneous analog output 1k sine wave and data acquisition

    Although many topics of simultaneous analog output and input can be found in NI Developer Zone, I have not found a case similar to my project. I'm trying to generate a 1kHz sine wave by using the analog output of NI DAQPad-6070E, and acquire one channel input signal simultaneously. I found most of the examples can not work properly above 100Hz. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

    I have sucessfully solve the problem when I observed the increase of
    scan backlog number. Simply increase the buffer size of AI/AO and you
    can make the 1kHz sine wave output and data acquired properly.

  • How do I make a sine wave in illustrator?

    Hi,
    I started a thread earlier this evening but I think that I accidentally flagged it as "solved" or something like that (I'm new to this forum). So I'm trying this again. I want to know if there's a way of creating a sine wave in illustrator. I've managed to create a cosine wave by using the zig zag effect on a line and choosing "smooth". But I can't seem to find a good way to make a sine wave.
    This is the difference for anyone wondering:
    I want a sine wave just like the picture above.
    Thanks for the help!
    ekmanch

    ekmanch,
    As I (mis)understand it, to create a single full sine wave, you may:
    1) Create a horizontal line 2.5 times the length of the desired full sine wave (or you may adapt the length later);
    2) Effect>Distort & Transform>Zig Zag with 4 Ridges per segment and Smmoths Points and the desired height as the Size (or you may adapt later);
    3) Object>Expand Appearance;
    4) Object>Path>Add Anchor Points;
    5) With the Scissors Tool cut where the sine wave starts and ends;
    6) Ungroup if needed and delete the end bits (and adapt the length/height if needed).

  • LabVIEW FPGA Sine Wave Generator Reset Input Behavior

    I would like to know what the output from the Sine Wave Generator express VI is while the reset input is true, and what happens to the output immediately after the reset input is set false.
    I need to generate a regular sequence of positive half-cycles of a sine wave, with an arbitrary delay between them that is not related to the actual frequency of the sine wave. So my plan is basically to periodically fire a trigger in the fpga software that resets a sine wave generator and directs its output to an analog output until the sine wave goes negative, at which point the analog output is set to 0 until the next trigger.
    Thanks

    Muchas gracias por responder steve.bm
    El problema que tengo es el siguiente, estoy desarrollando un proyecto en el cual uso los conversores DAC y ADC de la  tarjeta FPGA Spartan 3E para lo cual use como base el proyecto que esta subido por la NI que se encuentra en uno de los enlaces que me dejaste,( Lesson 8 - Linking Existing VHDL Code from WebPACK into LabVIEW FPGA) del mismo solo modifique para usar el ADC y el DAC mediante el cual adquiero una señal senosoidal y la tengo que reconstruir, el problema es que como uso un generador de señal de laboratorio al ingresar la frecuencia de muestreo para obtener una buena reconstruccion, la frecuencia se baja lo cual en el proyecto real no podra pasar ya que la frecuencia ya en proyecto final la adquiero de la red electrica publica pero ahora para pruebas estoy con un generador, la verdad no se que pasa porque tiene un retrazo la señal.....
    Te parece si te puedo dejar mi proyecto subido en enlace para que lo revices ??

  • Help Creating a Sine Wave in Numbers '09?

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble graphing some data in Numbers, having been used to Excel for most of my life. What I've basically got to do is graph a sine wave representing the annual variation described in the graph (it compares CO2 concentration measured at a chain of islands to time in years). I've figured out easily how to graph the data on a polynomial treadline curve, but now I've got this to do.
    The instructions say to make a new column in column D and enter in the equation 1.435x-2501.1, which is derived from the linear fit treadline equation I had calculated earlier. After that I am to copy it down to match the number of cells in column A (626), which I did, so now every cell in D down to 626 contains that equation above. Then, I enter 1 in cell E1 and 1/12 in order to arbitrarily guess at the sine wave amplitude and period, respectively, and finally I then select cell D1 and put in this equation:
    =1.435*A2-2501.1+($E$1*SIN(A2/$F$1))
    After that I grab cell D2, drag it down to select all the cells in column D, and add it to the graph by (I think) dragging it onto the graph, as Numbers says to do. What I'm uncertain of is where to go from here. Here are the instructions:
    'To plot the model values on the chart, double click or right click on the chart and select "Select Data" and click on Add under Series. Name the series "Model" and select data in column A for the X values and data in column D for the Y values. Rename Series 1 "Raw Data" and click OK."
    That's all stuff you can do in Excel... I don't know how to do it in Numbers. When I drag D into the graph, it works fine, but when I go to add in column A for X and D for Y in Inspector it won't let me type anything. How do I complete this sine wave?
    Thank you very much in advance for reading through this and helping me.

    I'm not sure of the reason for this step.
    1.435x-2501.1
    Entered into D2, with the x value in A2 is expressed as:
    =1.435*A-2501.1
    which is part of the formula below.
    Then, I enter 1 in cell E1 and 1/12 in order to arbitrarily guess at the sine wave amplitude and period, respectively, and finally I then select cell D1 and put in this equation:
    =1.435*A2-2501.1+($E$1*SIN(A2/$F$1))
    I'm assuming "1/12" goes in F1.
    I've also assumed row 1 is a Header row, and have entered your formula into the first data row (D2)
    Your formula is now:
    (1.435 times the value A) - 2501.1 + 1 * (Sin( the value in A divided by 0.833...))
    or
    (1.435 times the value A) - 2501.1 + 1 * (Sin( the value in A multiplied by 12))
    You haven't given any specifics regarding the raw data, so I've arbitrarily set it to a positive linear slope by making A =ROW()-1.
    After that I grab cell D2, drag it down to select all the cells in column D, and add it to the graph by (I think) dragging it onto the graph, as Numbers says to do. What I'm uncertain of is where to go from here. Here are the instructions:

    These may be instructions for Excel. Using Numbers, a simpler way to place thie data into an X-y Scatter plot is this:
    Set the data up to occupy the full columns A and D, not including the Header row mentioned above.
    Select Column A: Click on any cell to make the table active show the row and column Reference tabs.
    Click on column A's reference tab.
    Command-clickon column D's reference tab to add it to the selection.
    Click the Chart button in the tools and choose the Scatter chart icon from the menu.
    If I've read this correctly, your formula imposes a sine wave onto the set of data.
    Here are the results. The expanded chart at the right shows the approximately the area bounded by the light blue rectangle at the upper end of the plot in the larger chart.

  • Does iPhone work with modified sine wave inverter?

    Well, i have a modified sine wave inverter and i want to know of i can use this inverter to charge my iPhone. Thanks!

    You mean to plug the wall charger into? It should be OK, but if you are using a 12 volt auto source you are much better off getting a 12V USB charger. Wastes less gas.

  • How to measure time difference between zero crossing of a sine wave and rise time of a pulse on a same graph?

    I have a 50Hz sine wave and a pulse signal on a same graph. The phase difference between two is between 0-90 degrees.
    Now I need to calculate the time difference between (when the sine wave crosses zero volts) and (when the pulse rises). The frequency will stay approximately same for both signals.
    The application is for a three phase generator. In simple words, when the time difference between the zero-crossing of sine wave and the pulse rises increases, that means that the load on the generator has increases.
    I am a beginner user of LabView (version 9, 2009), maybe it is a very simple problem but I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days and coudln't figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using DAQ USB-6008 to measure these voltages and pulse from the generator and a sensor
    I have attached a jpg (a graph that i just made with excel to explain). The time 't' is what I am trying to measure

    Hi
    Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it won't work. Like you said the probability of choosing a value that is on both graphs may not happen. This is something that I would like the code to do automatically.
    But I did use the previous code posted and made some modifications to it and it seems to work perfectly. Now the next thing is to be able to get just that one value that tells you the first time difference.
    Here is what I get using that code.
    As you can see from the t Values. I only need the one that is highlighted. If there is a way to filter out the rest it would be great.
    I was thinking of a while loop and as soon as the value is higher than 3E-5 it would store the number and stop the loop, but I'm not too familiar with arrays in labview.
    Here is the the code modified.
    As you can see, it wasn't that big of a modification and it still is your code.
    I will keep trying.
    Thanks for the help

  • Best fit lines for loops and sine waves

    I am trying to find a best fit line that will work for sine waves and loops (hysteresis loops). I can get the sine wave just fine, but when I switch to a hysteresis it just puts a line across the middle (I assume because of the 2 y values for every x). I am doing data acquisition that will take in both forms and graph them. I tried a polynomial fit and it doesn't work at least the way I implemented it and I tried a few others but it looks like they are all function based. Also, my y values are coming out of a Bessel filter. I don't think this would be affecting anything but I thought I would put it in here incase it does.
    Did I miss one that I haven't tried that works for my application?
    Thanks

All of the functions I have found to filter or extract tones seem to introduce a larger frequency of phase error than i get using this method, but am I missing something?
    "looping" is a bit vague. What is the actual algorithm to find better estimates (e.g. levenberg marquardt, etc.)
    What problems did you have with extract single tone. Can you show some data where the results from it are not good?

    Hello Yun_Zhu,
    Your VI looks like you started from an example, and you are on the right track. 
    To clarify are you trying to synchronize the input and the output waveforms?  If you you will need to share a time base and a start trigger.  Check out the synchronization examples from LabVIEW

  • I am trying to generate a 50kHz sine wave for ten cycles, then aquire this waveform and store it in a file, I am using a PCI-Mio 16E-4 board, has anyone done anything like this?

    I am trying to generate a 50kHz sine wave output on the DAQ card and then simultaneously recieve. I am using a PCI-Mio 16E-4 series board to do this. Has anyone done anything similar. I can generate a 50k wave no problem, and recieve one, but I can not get these vis to run together? Any suggestiosn

    Jrod, yes you should be able to do this, actually there are quite a few example programs come with LabVIEW that handles simultaneous analog input and output, I check the specs of the board you use, the board should be able to handle the sampling/generation rate, but make sure for 50KHz sine wave, you would sample at least twice as fast, preferably ten times the generation rate, then this puts the sampling of the board to thew limit.
    The program you can try is attached here, good luck with the application,

  • Creating and controlling a sine wave

    I am a TA for Control Systems & Instrumentation at Texas State University. As the assistant I am required to assist students in their homeworks and projects. I have encountered a problem in assisting the students. How do I create a Sine Wave wit ha sampling frequency of 200 Hz? Obtain the power spectrum of the signal and change the sine wave frequency to 25 Hz. Determine if the resulting frequency is about the Nyquist frequency. Then increase the sine wave to 125 Hz and compare to the Nyquist frequency again.

    There is an example shipped with LabVIEW 2009 called "Resampling a Waveform (continuous).vi" I think this vi will demonstrate what you are trying to do. Change the sine wave frequency using the frequency control in the Test Signals (A) box and change the sampling frequency by updating the output rate control in the Output timing box. You will then see the original waveform spectrum at the original sampling rate (Fs) and the re-sampled spectrum will be shown in red so you can see the shift.

    Hello Marlon,
    Here is an example of changing frequency and ampliude for an E-series device in Labwindows/CVI. The programming should be similar in C for your S-Series device. As is says on the linked webpage above, this process is going to be very processor intensive since you will continually be creating a buffer.
