<H4><U>DESCRIPTION</U></H4>

<P>This subroutine generates a stored function table by evaluating a polynomial
in x over a fixed inter- val and with specified coefficients. </P>

<H4><U>INITIALIZATION</U></H4>

<P><I>size </I>- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or
a power-of-2 plus 1 ( <A HREF="./../NumScore/f-stat.html">see f statement</A>).
</P>

<P><I>xval1, xval2 </I>- left and right values of the x interval over which
the polynomial is defined (<I>xval1</I> &lt; <I>xval2</I>). These will
produce the 1st stored value and the (power-of-2 plus l)th stored value
respectively in the generated function table. </P>

<P><I>c0, c1, c2, ... cn</I> - coefficients of the nth-order polynomial
</P>

<P><I>c0 + c1x + c2x2 + . . . + cnxn</I> </P>

<P>Coefficients may be positive or negative real numbers; a zero denotes
a missing term in the polynomial. The coefficient list begins in p7, providing
a current upper limit of 144 terms.</P>

<P>Note: </P>

<P>The defined segment [fn(<I>xval1</I>),fn(<I>xval2</I>)] is evenly distributed.
Thus a 512-point table over the interval [-1,1] will have its origin at
location 257 (at the start of the 2nd half). Provided the extended guard
point is requested, both fn(-1) and fn(1) will exist in the table.</P>

<P><B>GEN03</B> is useful in conjunction with <B><A HREF="./../Generate/table.html">table
or tablei</A></B> for audio waveshaping (sound modification by non-linear
distortion). Coefficients to produce a particular formant from a sinusoidal
lookup index of known amplitude can be determined at preprocessing time
using algorithms such as Chebyshev formulae. <A HREF="./gen13.html">See also
GEN13</A>.</P>

<H4><B><U>EXAMPLE:</U></B></H4>

<P>f 1 0 1025 3 -1 1 5 4 3 2 2 1 </P>

<P>This calls <B>GEN03</B> to fill a table with a 4th order polynomial
function over the x-interval -1 to 1. The origin will be at the offset
position 512. The function is post-normalized.</P>
