Triangle

Triangle tone Generator

Generates a triangular tone of a -Frequency, for -Duration, at -Volume

Outputs

Wave

A triangle wave is calculated given at a given angle using:

[Math]::asin([Math]::sin($angle))

Parameters

Frequency

The frequency. Defaults to A4 (440hz)

false	Object	1	false	false

Duration

The amount of time to generate.

false	TimeSpan	2	false	false

Volume

The volume. If the current wave has set a volume, will use that volume. Otherwise, will default to 1/([Math]::PI * 2)

false	Double	3	false	false

Time

The start time.

SampleRate

The sample rate. Will default to the .SampleRate of $this wave. If there is no $this wave, will default to 44100

false	UInt32	5	false	false

channelCount

The channel count. Will default to the .ChannelCount of $this wave. If there is no $this wave, will default to 1 (mono).
