| Hey everyone,
The manuals says this about the double precision flag for oscils: "use
double precision even if Csound was compiled to use floats. This
improves quality (especially in the case of long performance time),
but may be up to twice as slow."
How significant is the quality difference between using floats versus
using doubles on a sine wave with oscils? Assuming that csound was
compiled with useDouble=0.
Looking at the code, I see the final values will be recast to floats
anyways. My guess is that this will track the frequency better over
long period of time, but in terms of audio quality, there would be no
advantage.
Best,
Jake
