Description

Generate linear vectorial segments

Syntax

vlinseg   ifnout, ielements, ifn1, idur1, ifn2 [, idur2, ifn3 [...]]

Initialization

ifnout - number of table hosting output vectorial signal

ifn1 - starting vector

ifn2,ifn3,etc. - vector after idurx seconds

idur1 - duration in seconds of first segment.

dur2, idur3, etc. - duration in seconds of subsequent segments.

ielements - number of elements of vectors.

Performance

These opcodes are similar to linseg and expseg, but operate with vectorial signals instead of with scalar signals.

Output is a vectorial control signal hosted by ifnout (that must be previously allocated), while each break-point of the envelope is actually a vector of values. All break-points must contain the same number of elements (ielements).

All these operators are designed to be used together with other opcodes that operate with vectorial signals such as bmscan, vcella, adsynt, adsynt2 etc.

Example

Here is an example of the vlinseg opcode. It uses the files vlinseg.csd.
