beat88()

LIB8STATIC u16 fl::beat88	(	accum88	beats_per_minute_88,
		u32	timebase = 0 )

Generates a 16-bit "sawtooth" wave at a given BPM, with BPM specified in Q8.8 fixed-point format.

Parameters

beats_per_minute_88	the frequency of the wave, in Q8.8 format
timebase	the time offset of the wave from the millis() timer

Warning

The BPM parameter MUST be provided in Q8.8 format! E.g. for 120 BPM it would be 120*256 = 30720. If you just want to specify "120", use beat16() or beat8().

    // BPM is 'beats per minute', or 'beats per 60000ms'.
    // To avoid using the (slower) division operator, we
    // want to convert 'beats per 60000ms' to 'beats per 65536ms',
    // and then use a simple, fast bit-shift to divide by 65536.
    //
    // The ratio 65536:60000 is 279.620266667:256; we'll call it 280:256.
    // The conversion is accurate to about 0.05%, more or less,
    // e.g. if you ask for "120 BPM", you'll get about "119.93".
    return (((fl::millis()) - timebase) * beats_per_minute_88 * 280) >> 16;
