Thanks for the reply Victor. 

Ok, that makes sense, however placing the variable inside the loop: 
kTime   init 0
    while kTime<10 do
      kTime timeinsts
      printk 1, kTime
    od

still freezes Csound the moment Run is initialized. I'll not sure of the solution.

Regards,
Scott

The instrument time is not incrementing as you have not moved from that kcycle. 
The loop is inside the k-cycle and timeinsts returns the curent k-cycle time.
