Description

Reads from numbered channels in an external audio signal or stream.

Syntax

ain1[, ...] inch kchan1[,...]

Performance

ain1, ... - input audio signals

kchan1,... - channel numbers

inch reads from numbered channels determined by the corresponding kchan into the associated ain. If the command-line -i flag is set, sound is read continuously from the audio input stream (e.g. stdin or a soundfile). inch can also be used to receive audio in realtime from the audio interface using -iadc.

	Note
	The highest number for kchan available for use with inch depends on nchnls_i. If kchan is greater than nchnls_i, ain will be silent. Note that inch will give a warning but not an error in this case.

Examples

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