GENfarey
"farey" — Fills a table with the Farey Sequence Fn of the integer n.
Description
Plugin gen in fareygen.
A Farey Sequence Fn of order n is a list of fractions in their lowest terms between 0 and 1 and in ascending order. Their denominators do not exceed n. This means a fraction a/b belongs to Fn if 0 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ n. The numerator and denominator of each fraction are always coprime. 0 and 1 are included in Fn as the fractions 0/1 and 1/1. For example F5 = {0/1, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1/1} Some properties of the Farey Sequence:
- If a/b and c/d are two successive terms of Fn, then bc - ad = 1.
- If a/b, c/d, e/f are three successive terms of Fn, then: c/d = (a+e) / (b+f). In this case c/d is called the mediant fraction between a/b and e/f.
- If n > 1, then no two successive terms ofFn have the same denominator.
The length of any Farey Sequence Fn is determined by |Fn| = 1 + SUM over n (phi(m)) where phi(m) is Euler's totient function, which gives the number of integers ≤ m that are coprime to m.
Some values for the length of Fn given n:
| n | Fn |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 7 |
| 5 | 11 |
| 6 | 13 |
| 7 | 19 |
| 8 | 23 |
| 9 | 29 |
| 10 | 33 |
| 11 | 43 |
| 12 | 47 |
| 13 | 59 |
| 14 | 65 |
| 15 | 73 |
| 16 | 81 |
| 17 | 97 |
| 18 | 103 |
| 19 | 121 |
| 20 | 129 |
Initialization
size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement).
fareynum -- the integer n for generating Farey Sequence Fn
mode -- integer to trigger a specific output to be written into the table:
-
0 -- outputs floating point numbers representing the elements of Fn.
-
1 -- outputs delta values of successive elements of Fn, useful for generating note durations for example.
-
2 -- outputs only the denominators of the integer ratios, useful for indexing other tables or instruments for example.
-
3 -- same as mode 2 but with normalised output.
-
4 -- same as mode 0 but with 1 added to each number, useful for generating tables for tuning opcodes, for example cps2pch.
Examples
f1 0 -23 "farey" 8 0
Generates generates Farey Sequence F8. The table contains all
23 elements of F8 as floating point numbers.
f1 0 -18 "farey" 7 1
This generates Farey Sequence F7. The table contains 18 delta values of F7,
i.e. the difference between ri+1 - ri, where r is the ith element of Fn.
f1 0 -43 "farey" 11 2
This generates Farey Sequence F11. The table contains the denominators of all
43 fractions in F11.
f1 0 -43 "farey" 11 3
This generates Farey Sequence F11. The table contains the denominators of all
43 fractions in F11, each of those divided by 11, i.e. normalised.
f1 0 -18 "farey" 7 4
This generates Farey Sequence F7. The table contains all fractions of F7,
same as mode 0, but this time '1' is added to each table element.
