pset — Defines and initializes numeric arrays at orchestra load time.
icon1, icon2, ... -- preset values for a MIDI instrument
pset (optional) defines and initializes numeric arrays at orchestra load time. It may be used as an orchestra header statement (i.e. instrument 0) or within an instrument. When defined within an instrument, it is not part of its i-time or performance operation, and only one statement is allowed per instrument. These values are available as i-time defaults. When an instrument is triggered from MIDI it only gets p1 and p2 from the event, and p3, p4, etc. will receive the actual preset values.
Here is an example of the pset opcode. It uses the file pset.csd
Example 659. Example of the pset opcode.
See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

Here is another example of the pset opcode, using pset with midi. It uses the file pset-midi.csd
