Hey hey,
I think I need to have both the string and k-time parameters. event can do 
k-time, but doesn't accept S-type parameters. Schedule accepts Svariables, but 
parameters are i-time.

The scenario: I have a UDO that needs to create a given number of pulses, 
realised through a linseg. This UDO is wrapped in one instrument that will 
output the audio to a supplied channel/bus, therefore the Svariable in the 
parameter list.

I can do it like that or rewrite the UDO to have a mechanism to generate those 
pulses based on a trigger or something.

What would appear to be the most prudent solution here?

Best wishes and many thanks,

Jeanette

For exactly this kind of situation you can use the string cache opcodes, which allow you to internalize the strings and send them as integers.

So if you are using event at k-time:

ifoo cacheput "foo" ibar cacheput "bar" ktrig metro 10 if (ktrig == 1) then event "i", "myinstr", 0, -1, kval, ifoo, ibar endif

instr myinstr ival, ifoo, ibar passign 4 Sfoo cacheget ifoo Sbar cacheget ibar .... endin The cache* opcodes are here: https://csound-plugins.github.io/csound-plugins/opcodes/cacheput.html

or as traditional way, you can use strset.

i suggested to extend the schedule facility which can work with strings 
to extend to a k-ryte opcode so that we can overcome this restriction of 
the event opcode:

...
Thanks a lot Eduardo. This made me notice that I haven't installed the
extra plugins, which look to include a few very interesting opcodes.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Thanks Joachim. I use strget all the time with p-fields and completely
ignored its counterpart.

strset is certainly a good idea.

But is there a reason why not using scoreline ?

But ... the problem is that strget works only at i-time:

  kChn, kDur xin
  S_Chn strget kChn

error:  Unable to find opcode entry for 'strget' with matching argument

That however does not appear to be a problem. Honestly, I sometimes
still am confused by what can and can't happen in i- and k-time.

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette

yes --- if you need a k-rate string, you can use a string channel (chn_S).

Thanks for the tip, Joachim. I'll have to think about this, maybe chan_s
can be used in the system.

or if you have a predefined number of strings, you can even use a string 
array, and just refer to the index, like

gS_myFiles[] fillarray "one.wav", "two.wav", "three.wav"

instr Caller
  kTrig metro 1
  if kTrig==1 then
   kFile random 0, lenarray(gS_myfiles)+.999
   event "i", "Play", 0, 1, int(kFile)
  endif
endin

instr Play
  iFileIndex = p4
  S_file = gS_myfiles[iFileIndex]
  aL, aR diskin S_file
  out aL, aR
endin

(not tested, just as rough example.)

rorry's 'directory' opcode is a great tool to work with soundfiles in 
these situations.
