Description

Returns the loop segment start-time of a stored function table number.

Syntax

ftlptim(x) (init-rate args only)

Performance

Returns the loop segment start-time (in seconds) of stored function table number x. This reports the duration of the direct recorded attack and decay parts of a sound sample, prior to its looped segment. Returns zero (and a warning message) if the sample does not contain loop points.

Examples

Here is an example of the ftlptim opcode. It uses the file ftlptim.csd, and mary.wav.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-odac           -iadc    ;;;RT audio I/O
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o ftlptim.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1.
instr 1
  ; Print out the loop-segment start time in Table #1.
  itim = ftlptim(1)
  print itim
endin


</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>

; Table #1: Use an audio file, Csound will determine its size.
f 1 0 0 1 "mary.wav" 0 0 0

; Play Instrument #1 for 1 second.
i 1 0 1
e


</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

Since the audio file “mary.wav” is non-looping, its output should include lines like this:

WARNING: non-looping sample
instr 1:  itim = 0.000
