Math Expressions for Wave Generation

Post by pnielsen » Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:13 am

Is there any way to generate test waveforms in Audacity using standard algebraic math expressions, such as sin(2*pi*t*f) for a sine wave?

Audacity includes a powerful scripting language called "Nyquist" (based on XLISP).
Here are some links:
