// stb_hexwave - v0.5 - public domain, initial release 2021-04-01
//
// A flexible anti-aliased (bandlimited) digital audio oscillator.
//
// This library generates waveforms of a variety of shapes made of
// line segments. It does not do envelopes, LFO effects, etc.; it
// merely tries to solve the problem of generating an artifact-free
// morphable digital waveform with a variety of spectra, and leaves
// it to the user to rescale the waveform and mix multiple voices, etc.
//
// Compiling:
//
// In one C/C++ file that #includes this file, do
//
// #define STB_HEXWAVE_IMPLEMENTATION
// #include "stb_hexwave.h"
//
// Optionally, #define STB_HEXWAVE_STATIC before including
// the header to cause the definitions to be private to the
// implementation file (i.e. to be "static" instead of "extern").
//
// Notes:
//
// Optionally performs memory allocation during initialization,
// never allocates otherwise.
//
// License:
//
// See end of file for license information.
//
// Usage:
//
// Initialization:
//
// hexwave_init(32,16,NULL); // read "header section" for alternatives
//
// Create oscillator:
//
// HexWave *osc = malloc(sizeof(*osc)); // or "new HexWave", or declare globally or on stack
// hexwave_create(osc, reflect_flag, peak_time, half_height, zero_wait);
// see "Waveform shapes" below for the meaning of these parameters
//
// Generate audio:
//
// hexwave_generate_samples(output, number_of_samples, osc, oscillator_freq)
// where:
// output is a buffer where the library will store floating point audio samples
// number_of_samples is the number of audio samples to generate
// osc is a pointer to a Hexwave
// oscillator_freq is the frequency of the oscillator divided by the sample rate
//
// The output samples will continue from where the samples generated by the
// previous hexwave_generate_samples() on this oscillator ended.
//
// Change oscillator waveform:
//
// hexwave_change(osc, reflect_flag, peak_time, half_height, zero_wait);
// can call in between calls to hexwave_generate_samples
//
// Waveform shapes:
//
// All waveforms generated by hexwave are constructed from six line segments
// characterized by 3 parameters.
//
// See demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsUCrAsDN-M

// Square 1 0 1 0
// Triangle 1 0.5 0 0
//
// Some waveforms can be produced in multiple ways, which is useful when morphing
// into other waveforms, and there are a few more notable shapes:
//
// peak half zero
// reflect time height wait
// Sawtooth 1 1 any 0
// Sawtooth (8va) 1 0 -1 0
// Triangle 1 0.5 0 0
// Square 1 0 1 0
// Square 0 0 1 0
// Triangle 0 0.5 0 0
// Triangle 0 0 -1 0
// AlternatingSaw 0 0 0 0
// AlternatingSaw 0 1 any 0
// Stairs 0 0 1 0.5
//
// The "Sawtooth (8va)" waveform is identical to a sawtooth wave with 2x the
// frequency, but when morphed with other values, it becomes an overtone of
// the base frequency.
//
// Morphing waveforms:
//
// Sweeping peak_time morphs the waveform while producing various spectra.
// Sweeping half_height effectively crossfades between two waveforms; useful, but less exciting.
// Sweeping zero_wait produces a similar effect no matter the reset of the waveform,
// a sort of high-pass/PWM effect where the wave becomes silent at zero_wait=1.
//
// You can trivially morph between any two waveforms from the above table
// which only differ in one column.
//
// Crossfade between classic waveforms:
// peak half zero
// Start End reflect time height wait
// ----- --- ------- ---- ------ ----
// Triangle Square 0 0 -1..1 0
// Saw Square 1 0 0..1 0
// Triangle Saw 1 0.5 0..2 0
//
// The last morph uses uses half-height values larger than 1, which means it will
// be louder and the output should be scaled down by half to compensate, or better
// by dynamically tracking the morph: volume_scale = 1 - half_height/4
//
// Non-crossfade morph between classic waveforms, most require changing
// two parameters at the same time:
// peak half zero
// Start End reflect time height wait
// ----- --- ------- ---- ------ ----
// Square Triangle any 0..0.5 1..0 0
// Square Saw 1 0..1 1..any 0
// Triangle Saw 1 0.5..1 0..-1 0
//
// Other noteworthy morphs between simple shapes:
// peak half zero
// Start Halfway End reflect time height wait
// ----- --------- --- ------- ---- ------ ----
// Saw (8va,neg) Saw (pos) 1 0..1 -1 0
// Saw (neg) Saw (pos) 1 0..1 0 0
// Triangle AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 -1 0
// AlternatingSaw Triangle AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 0 0
// Square AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 1 0
// Triangle Triangle AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 -1..1 0
// Square AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 1..0 0
// Saw (8va) Triangle Saw 1 0..1 -1..1 0
// Saw (neg) Saw (pos) 1 0..1 0..1 0
// AlternatingSaw AlternatingSaw 0 0..1 0..any 0
//
// The last entry is noteworthy because the morph from the halfway point to either
// endpoint sounds very different. For example, an LFO sweeping back and forth over
// the whole range will morph between the middle timbre and the AlternatingSaw
// timbre in two different ways, alternating.
//
// Entries with "any" for half_height are whole families of morphs, as you can pick
// any value you want as the endpoint for half_height.
//
// You can always morph between any two waveforms with the same value of 'reflect'
// by just sweeping the parameters simultaneously. There will never be artifacts
// and the result will always be useful, if not necessarily what you want.
//
// You can vary the sound of two-parameter morphs by ramping them differently,
// e.g. if the morph goes from t=0..1, then square-to-triangle looks like:
// peak_time = lerp(t, 0, 0.5)
// half_height = lerp(t, 1, 0 )
// but you can also do things like:
// peak_time = lerp(smoothstep(t), 0, 0.5)
// half_height = cos(PI/2 * t)
//
// How it works:
//
// hexwave use BLEP to bandlimit discontinuities and BLAMP
// to bandlimit C1 discontinuities. This is not polyBLEP
// (polynomial BLEP), it is table-driven BLEP. It is
// also not minBLEP (minimum-phase BLEP), as that complicates
// things for little benefit once BLAMP is involved.
//
// The previous oscillator frequency is remembered, and when
// the frequency changes, a BLAMP is generated to remove the
// C1 discontinuity, which reduces artifacts for sweeps/LFO.
//
// Changes to an oscillator timbre using hexwave_change() actually
// wait until the oscillator finishes its current cycle. All
// waveforms with non-zero "zero_wait" settings pass through 0
// and have 0-slope at the start of a cycle, which means changing
// the settings is artifact free at that time. (If zero_wait is 0,
// the code still treats it as passing through 0 with 0-slope; it'll
// apply the necessary fixups to make it artifact free as if it does
// transition to 0 with 0-slope vs. the waveform at the end of
// the cycle, then adds the fixups for a non-0 and non-0 slope
// at the start of the cycle, which cancels out if zero_wait is 0,
// and still does the right thing if zero_wait is 0 when the
// settings are updated.)
//
// BLEP/BLAMP normally requires overlapping buffers, but this
// is hidden from the user by generating the waveform to a
// temporary buffer and saving the overlap regions internally
// between calls. (It is slightly more complicated; see code.)
//
// By design all shapes have 0 DC offset; this is one reason
// hexwave uses zero_wait instead of standard PWM.
//
// The internals of hexwave could support any arbitrary shape
// made of line segments, but I chose not to expose this
// generality in favor of a simple, easy-to-use API.
