Possible to play a specific frequency?

Post by driven » Mon Jan 25, 2016 4:03 am

I just want to play a certain frequency sine wave, like 723Hz or whatever. Is this possible without an external synth?

I don't see any way to do this directly. Best I can do is use Analog instrument, put a tuner on it, and nudge the Detune parameter until I'm close. This can't be the only way.. I just want to type in a specific frequency.

Test tone doesn't count. I want to do it in a track.

In Suite you can use Operator.

Turn on 'fixed' and you can set the frequency.

You can check the results using either Tuner or spectrum/EQ8.

Aha! Thanks, been beating my head on this a while.
