am new to learning max/msp, slowing been going through the tutorials and found a patch online i really like, the IMG below is a small extract from that patch that outputs a bass sound via a phasor~

Q: in the highlighted section of the IMG what are the arguments relating to in the objects?

what are these doing to the phasor~ output?

log~ 1024 is changing the wave from a sawtooth to a log function. Paste this into a patch to see the difference:

*~ 70 is making the amplitude of the wave bigger.

Note, this is all being used to drive the frequency of a cycle~. It seems like a very oblique way of getting a very fast frequency sweep 1.25 time a second.

many thanks MZED, where do we get the sum of 1024 from?

are there calculations to make from the phasor~1.25 to reach the 1024 argument in the log object?

I've kinda solved whats happening below the abs~ object

apologies for going round in circles, trying to learn quickly
