Read absolute time, in k-rate cycles, since the start of an instance of an instrument. Called at both i-time as well as k-time.
timeinstk is for time in k-rate cycles. So with:
sr = 44100 kr = 6300 ksmps = 7
then after half a second, the timek opcode would report 3150. It will always report an integer.
timeinstk produces a k-rate variable for output. There are no input parameters.
timeinstk is similar to timek except it returns the time since the start of this instance of the instrument.
Here is an example of the timeinstk opcode. It uses the files timeinstk.orc and timeinstk.sco.
Example 379. Example of the timeinstk opcode.
/* timeinstk.orc */ ; Initialize the global variables. sr = 44100 kr = 4410 ksmps = 10 nchnls = 1 ; Instrument #1. instr 1 ; Print out the value from timeinstk every half-second. k1 timeinstk printks "k1 = %f samples\\n", 0.5, k1 endin /* timeinstk.orc */
/* timeinstk.sco */ ; Play Instrument #1 for two seconds. i 1 0 2 e /* timeinstk.sco */
Its output should include lines like this:
k1 = 1.000000 samples k1 = 2205.000000 samples k1 = 4410.000000 samples k1 = 6615.000000 samples k1 = 8820.000000 samples
