 In this example, we continue to let the generator be active as long as the volume for the oscillator is above 0.000001. Once the volume goes below, then **active == false** and the generator will turn itself off (until you press a note again). In this example, we continue to let the generator be active as long as the volume for the oscillator is above 0.000001.

 +From version 1.3, you can instead call **VSDeactivate()**. It will run exactly the same code:

 note[x] is an array corresponding to the notes being played for the eight oscillators (x is between 1-8). If we don't set note[x] explicitly, each oscillator will keep the default notein value. Hence, you don't have to set the note[] array if you don't want to change the note. note[x] is an array corresponding to the notes being played for the eight oscillators (x is between 1-8).

-Given that notein=48, note[1] will be 47.99 and note[2] will be 48.01. Setting these two oscillators slightly detuned will create a beat effect, which you can read more about here:+The pitchbend variable is representing the current pitch bend data from your keyboard, and ranges by default between -2 to +2 (two semi-tones in each direction). This value is added to each note[x] value in the sound engine (after the Lua code has finished running). Say that note[1] == 48 and pitchbend == 0.3. The note that will be played by the oscillator will then be 48.3. In the code above, we manipulate the pitchbend variable so that it ranges from -4 to +4 instead. If you wish to turn it off (or use the pitchbend data to modulate something else), you can do so by setting pitchbend = 0 somewhere in the code.

 +In the above code, we are adding and subtracting 0.01 for note[1] and note[2]. Given that notein == 48, note[1] will then be 47.99 and note[2] will be 48.01. Setting these two oscillators slightly detuned will create a beat effect, which you can read more about here:

 +Simply adding VSPingPoing(0.9,0.2) as the last line in your code will give you a nice ping pong effect. You can then change parts of the delay parameters if you like after calling this function.
