dumpk3 — Periodically writes three orchestra control-signal values to an external file.
Periodically writes three orchestra control-signal values to a named external file in a specific format.
ifilname -- character string (in double quotes, spaces permitted) denoting the external file name. May either be a full path name with target directory specified or a simple filename to be created within the current directory
iformat -- specifies the output data format:
1 = 8-bit signed char(high order 8 bits of a 16-bit integer
4 = 16-bit short integers
5 = 32-bit long integers
6 = 32-bit floats
7 = ASCII long integers
8 = ASCII floats (2 decimal places)
Note that A-law and U-law output are not available, and that all formats except the last two are binary. The output file contains no header information.
iprd -- the period of ksig output in seconds, rounded to the nearest orchestra control period. A value of 0 implies one control period (the enforced minimum), which will create an output file sampled at the orchestra control rate.
ksig1, ksig2, ksig3 -- control-rate signals
This opcode allows three generated control signal values to be saved in a named external file. The file contains no self-defining header information. But it contains a regularly sampled time series, suitable for later input or analysis. There may be any number of dumpk3 opcodes in an instrument or orchestra but each must write to a different file.
Here is an example of the dumpk3 opcode. Play dumpk3.csd Note that the example must be run from a directory for which the user has write access.
