interp

interp — Converts a control signal to an audio signal using linear interpolation.

Description

Converts a control signal to an audio signal using linear interpolation.

Syntax

ares interp ksig [, iskip] [, imode]

Initialization

iskip (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of internal save space (see reson). The default value is 0.

imode (optional, default=0) -- sets the initial output value to the first k-rate input instead of zero. The following graphs show the output of interp with a constant input value, in the original, when skipping init, and in the new mode:

Example 217. iskip=0, imode=0

Performance

ksig -- input k-rate signal.

interp converts a control signal to an audio signal. It uses linear interpolation between successive kvals.

Examples

Here is an example of the interp opcode. It uses the file interp.csd.

Example 220. Example of the interp opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
