Hello forum, first the bad news…I never coded anything, ever.
I did input some basic into a Commodore vic20 a long time ago. It rarely worked.
And I’m almost completely new to Audacity. I have used Cool Edit Pro quite a bit.
The good news, I dont need a lot. (and I dont have Covid
I have version 2.3.0
So I click Generate/Tone
Right there I want to add a new waveform.
I want instant attack, minimal duration, and instant decay
On an oscilloscope it would look like this…l…l…l…l
Its an instantaneous impulse
Because I like John Bedini, Nicola Tesla, John Hutchison et al.
I think the expression you are looking for is “impulse train”.
As waxcylinder wrote, the “Rhythm Track” generator will give you something similar, though not “instant” up and down.
There are many different types of impulse trains. They may go up from a base line of zero (silence) and then back down to zero, they may go up and down around zero (2 samples), they may be “band limited” (called a “BLIT”), just to name a few.
