Hey hey,
I read the string variables could be both i-rate and k-rate, or changeable at 
performance-time. Somehow this doesn't work for me:
if condition
   kdate date
   Sfilename sprintfk "%d.wav", kdate
   ...
endif

Using printks to print kdate, whenever the branch is executed, shows that 
kdate changes. I didn't figure out a way to print Sfilename, since printks 
doesn't accept an Svariable argument.

Any hints or another mechanism to generate changing filenames would be very 
welcome.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Hey hey Rory,
this does work, but somehow the next conditional block that actually
uses fout to record to a file always uses the same filename, eventhough
I see the filename changing. Is the filename paraeter of fout always
i-rate?

I'm thinking about moving the recording code into a second instrument,
trigger by the event opcode. When later-on using turnoff, will that
properly stop the recording?

Best wishes,

Jeanette
