If no selection is made, the default length inserted at the cursor position is 30 seconds.

Parameters:<

  • Waveform: can be Sine, Square, Sawtooth
  • Frequency(Hz): 1-20000 (value below 1.0 and above 20000 will be corrected to 1.0 and 20000!)

</tr>

  • Amplitude: 0-1 - This is the volume of the generated wave.

whitenoise

Inserts white noise. The length is determined by the length of your selection and the position by the left boundary of your selection.

If no selection is made, the default length inserted at the cursor position is 30 seconds.
