GEN49 — Transfers data from an MP3 soundfile into a function table.
size -- number of points in the table. Ordinarily a power of 2 or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement); the maximum tablesize is 16777216 (224) points. The allocation of table memory can be deferred by setting this parameter to 0; the size allocated is then the number of points in the file (probably not a power-of-2), and the table is not usable by normal oscillators, but it is usable by a loscil unit. The soundfile can also be mono or stereo.
filcod -- integer or character-string denoting the source soundfile name. An integer denotes the file soundin.filcod ; a character-string (in double quotes, spaces permitted) gives the filename itself, optionally a full pathname. If not a full path, the file is sought first in the current directory, then in that given by the environment variable SSDIR (if defined) then by SFDIR. See also soundin.
skiptime -- begin reading at skiptime seconds into the file.
format -- specifies the audio data-file format required:
1 - Mono file 3 - First channel (left)
2 - Stereo file 4 - Second channel (right)
If format = 0 the sample format is taken from the soundfile header.
