Hey hey,
I'm trying to setup a Risset-Shepard glissando with two notes. I know that 
there are examples, but I need to work it out completely to change it to a 
slightly different domain and have absolute control.

In my demo the zero amplitude doesn't exactly respond to the skip of the 
oscillator. This is the relevant code snippet:
*** BEGIN risset.csd ***
...
 	kamp oscil iamp, ifreq, 1, iph ; ft1 being a sine wave GEN10, the amp
 	curve
 	k1 = abs((kamp+1)*.5) ; modify so the shape only goes from 0-1
 	k2 oscil ifamp, ifreq, 2, iph ; the frequency curve, ft2 being rising
 	; GEN5 not normalised from 1 to 4
 	a1 oscil k1, k2, 1
 	outs a1*.5, a1*.5
...
*** END risset.csd ***
With one instance at phase 0, I hear the tone increasing in volume and
frequency, decreasing in volume, while still going up, fading to
nothing, fading back still rising higher and then dropping to the lowest
possible frequency, while rather quiet, but definitely audible. There
appears to be a frequency mismatch, or the oscil opcode doesn't properly
deal with the two function tables in question. The both have the same
number of points (32768).

Any hints would be very welcome. Thank you.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Hi Jeanette,

the risset glissando needs two things: an exponential for the frequency (which you have) and
a window function for the amplitude (e.g. Gaussian). Maybe the problem you have is that you are
not using the correct window function. See this for example:

===========================
gifn1 ftgen 0,0,16384,20,6,1 ; Gaussian
gifn2 ftgen 0,0,16384,5,1,16384,2^-10 ; exp 10 octaves

instr 1
 idur = p6 ; cycle duration
 itop = p5 ; topmost gliss freq
 ioff = p4 ; offset
 kf oscili 1,1/idur,gifn2,ioff; reads the frequency table (glissando)
 ka oscili 1,1/idur,gifn1,ioff  ; reads the amplitude table (bell function)
 asig oscili ka,kf*itop ; produces the sound
      out 0dbfs*asig/10
endin 

ik init 0
while ik < 10 do
 schedule(1,0,120,ik/10,3000,60)
 ik += 1
od
event_i "e", 0, 120

I thought I'd mention that Reginald Bain wrote an excellent article on
Risset's Glissando in the Csound Journal:

Hi Victor and Steven,
thanks to the two of you. It appears my first problem was only using two 
tones. It seems that three is the minimum with the typical gaussian window 
function. And that was my second blunder. Now it works perfectly and I'm 
already writing my specific UDO.

Thank a lot!

TTFN,

Jeanette
