timek 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.
timek can produce a k-rate variable for output. There are no input parameters.
timek can also operate only at the start of the instance of the instrument. It produces an i-rate variable (starting with i or gi) as its output.
Here is an example of the timek opcode. It uses the files timek.orc and timek.sco.
Example 381. Example of the timek opcode.
/* timek.orc */ ; Initialize the global variables. sr = 44100 kr = 4410 ksmps = 10 nchnls = 1 ; Instrument #1. instr 1 ; Print out the value from timek every half-second. k1 timek printks "k1 = %f samples\\n", 0.5, k1 endin /* timek.orc */
/* timek.sco */ ; Play Instrument #1 for two seconds. i 1 0 2 e /* timek.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
