Fig 25.2: CCITT dialing tone
(
Ndef(\dialtone, {
// Note: the array here specifies two frequencies, so we get two separate channels.
// We sum the two channels so they combine into one signal - otherwise we
// would hear one note on left, one note on right.

// To stop:
Ndef(\dialtone).free;

Leave it running while you run the other blocks of code below...

(
Ndef(\phonesource, {

onoff = if(MouseX.kr > 0.2, 1, 0);
SinOsc.ar([350, 440], 0, onoff).sum * 0.2
})

(
Ndef(\phonesource, {
var onoff;
onoff = LFPulse.ar(1/6, width: 1/3);
SinOsc.ar([480, 440], 0, onoff).sum * 0.2
})
)
Fig 25.5b: Busy tone
(
Ndef(\phonesource, {
var onoff;
onoff = LPF.ar(LFPulse.ar(2), 100);
SinOsc.ar([480, 620], 0, onoff).sum * 0.2
})
)
Fig 25.6: Pulse dialling, before DTMF
// First run this block to create the synth... (the filter from earlier on should still be running!)
(
Ndef(\phonesource, { |t_trig=0, number=0|
var onoff, trigs, son;
number = if(number < 0.5, 10, number); // zero is represented by 10 clicks!
onoff = Trig1.ar(t_trig, number * 0.1);
trigs = Impulse.ar(10) * onoff;
son = Trig1.ar(trigs, 0.04);
son;
});
)
// ...then dial some numbers by repeatedly running this line:
Ndef(\phonesource).set(\t_trig, 1, \number, 10.rand.postln);
