fin
fin — Read signals from a file at a-rate.
Syntax
fin ifilename, iskipframes, iformat, ain1 [, ain2] [, ain3] [,...]
fin ifilename, iskipframes, iformat, arr[]
Initialization
ifilename -- input file name (can be a string or a handle number generated by fiopen).
iskipframes -- number of frames to skip at the start (every frame contains a sample of each channel)
iformat -- a number specifying the input file format for headerless files.
-
-2 - 32 bit floating points without header
-
-1 - 16 bit integers without header
-
0 - take values from the header
Performance
fin (file input) is the complement of fout: it reads a multichannel file to generate audio rate signals. The user must be sure that the number of channels of the input file is the same as the number of ainX arguments.

Please note that since this opcode generates its output using input parameters (on the right side of the opcode), these variables must be initialized before use, otherwise a 'used before defined' error will occur. You can use the init opcode for this. |
