Sine wave

Sine wave is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Generate a sine wave:

1. you choose the frequency of the wave
2. generate a sine wave for 5 seconds
3. play sound

Go

Works with: Ubuntu 16.04

Go lacks audio support in its standard library and, whilst there are third party packages that could be used, an easier approach is to invoke the SoX utility's 'play' command as was done in the second Kotlin example. <lang go>package main

import (

   "fmt"
   "os/exec"

)

func main() {

   synthType := "sine"
   duration := "5"
   frequency := "440"
   cmd := exec.Command("play", "-n", "synth", duration, synthType, frequency)
   err := cmd.Run()
   if err != nil {
       fmt.Println(err)
   }

}</lang>

JavaScript

<lang javascript>let ctx = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)(); let osc = ctx.createOscillator(); osc.frequency.setValueAtTime(440, ctx.currentTime); osc.connect(ctx.destination); osc.start(); osc.stop(ctx.currentTime + 5);</lang>

Kotlin

Using Java Sound API

<lang scala>// Version 1.2.41

import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem import kotlin.math.sin import kotlin.math.PI

fun sineWave(frequency: Int, seconds: Int, sampleRate: Int): ByteArray {

   val samples = seconds * sampleRate
   val result = ByteArray(samples)
   val interval = sampleRate.toDouble() / frequency
   for (i in 0 until samples) {
       val angle = 2.0 * PI * i / interval
       result[i] = (sin(angle) * 127).toByte()
   }
   return result

}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

   val sampleRate = 44000
   val buffer = sineWave(440, 5, sampleRate)
   val format = AudioFormat(sampleRate.toFloat(), 8, 1, true, true)
   val line = AudioSystem.getSourceDataLine(format)
   with (line) {
       open(format)
       start()
       write(buffer, 0, buffer.size)
       drain()
       close()
   }

}</lang>

Invoking SoX

An easier approach invoking the SoX utility's 'play' command which has this stuff built-in. The following was tested on Ubuntu 16.04. <lang scala>// Version 1.2.41

fun main(args:Array<String>) {

   val synthType = "sine"
   val duration = "5"
   val frequency = "440"
   val pb = ProcessBuilder("play", "-n", "synth", duration, synthType, frequency)
   pb.directory(null)
   val proc = pb.start()
   proc.waitFor()

}</lang>

OCaml

Library: SFML

Library: ocaml-sfml

<lang ocaml>module BA = Bigarray module BA1 = Bigarray.Array1

let () =

 let samples = 44100 in
 let sample_rate = 44100 in
 let amplitude = 30000. in
 
 let raw = BA1.create BA.int16_signed BA.c_layout samples in

 let two_pi = 6.28318 in
 let increment = 440.0 /. 44100.0 in
 let x = ref 0.0 in

 for i = 0 to samples - 1 do
   raw.{i} <- truncate (amplitude *. sin (!x *. two_pi));
   x := !x +. increment;
 done;
 
 let buffer = SFSoundBuffer.loadFromSamples raw 1 sample_rate in

 let snd = SFSound.create () in
 SFSound.setBuffer snd buffer;
 SFSound.setLoop snd true;
 SFSound.play snd;
 while true do
   SFTime.sleep (SFTime.of_milliseconds 100_l);
 done</lang>

To run this code in script mode you can add this at the beginning of the file:

<lang ocaml>#directory "+sfml"

1. load "bigarray.cma"
2. load "sfml_system.cma"
3. load "sfml_audio.cma"</lang>

Then run:

ocaml sine_wave.ml

Or to compile to native code:

ocamlopt -I +sfml bigarray.cmxa sfml_system.cmxa sfml_audio.cmxa sine_wave.ml -o sine_wave.exe

Perl

<lang perl>use Audio::NoiseGen qw(play sine);

Audio::NoiseGen::init() || die 'No access to sound hardware?';

alarm 5; play( gen => sine( freq => 440 ) );</lang>

Phix

<lang Phix>atom k32=NULL, xBeep

procedure beep(integer frequency, duration=5000)

   if platform()=WINDOWS then
       if k32=NULL then
           k32 = open_dll("kernel32.dll")
           xBeep = define_c_proc(k32, "Beep", {C_INT,C_INT})
       end if
       c_proc(xBeep,{frequency,duration})
   elsif platform()=LINUX then

system(sprintf("play -n synth %f sine %d", {duration/1000, frequency}))

   end if

end procedure

Racket

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: Rakudo version 2018.04.01

What a horribly underspecified task. Ah well, gives me lots of wiggle room to cheat in various ways.

<lang perl6>my ($rows,$cols) = qx/stty size/.words; my $v = floor $rows / 2; print "\e[H\e[J", 'Generating sine wave of zero amplitude and zero frequency for 5 seconds...',

 "\e[$v;0H", '_' x $cols;

sleep 5; say "\e[H\e[J", 'No?, ok how about this:';

use SVG; my $filename = 'sine.svg'; my $out = open($filename, :w) orelse .die; $out.say: SVG.serialize(

   svg => [
       width => 400, height => 150, style => 'stroke:rgb(0,0,255)',
       :rect[:width<100%>, :height<100%>, :fill<white>],
       :path[ :fill<none>, :d('M0,25 C36.42,25,63.58,125,100,125 M100,125 C136.42,125,163.58,25,200,25 M200,25 C236.42,25,263.58,125,300,125 M300,125 C336.42,125,363.58,25,400,25') ],
   ],

); close $out; say "Sine wave generated to {$filename.IO.absolute}, better open it quickly..."; sleep 5; unlink $filename; say 'Oops, too late.'; say 'Still no? Ok how about:'; shell 'play -n -c1 synth 5.0 sin %-12';</lang>

REXX

Note:   This REXX program will only work for PC/REXX or Personal REXX. <lang REXX>/*REXX program produces a sine wave (of a specified frequency) for N seconds. */ parse arg freq time . /*obtain optional arguments from the CL*/ if freq== | freq=="," then freq= 880 /*Not specified? Then use the default.*/ if time== | time=="," then time= 5 /* " " " " " " */ call sound freq, time /*invoke a BIF to generate a sine wave.*/ exit 0 /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */</lang>
