Hi list,

How can I solve the following problem: I have a list of files and I want to play them by Instruments. Until now I did it like this:

instr 1
	asig diskin2 p4, 1, 0, 1
	outs asig, asig
endin

and use 
i1 0 -1 "file.aiff"
to start the instrument

Since diskin2 needs some time to start on certain hardware, it might be useful to store the file in a ftable
to have time for the allocation of the memory and use the flooper opcode to play the ftable. Since the names of the files are not known at the time the csd-file is written, and I want to avoid the generation of the csd by the program I call the Csound process from, I thought it might be convenient to have some mechanism that generates ftables during runtime. Like tis

instr 2
	gisample_ ftgen 0, 0, 0, 1, p4, 0, 0, 0
endin
 
Then I'd like to do

i 2 0 0 "file.aiff"  ; use  as parameter to control into which ftample i write 

thus creating the ftable and give it as an argument to flooper in some other instrument.

The problem is that there seem to be no "arrays of global variables", such that gisample_ or gisample[number] seems to expressable. Is there a way to achieve this functionality? Maybe with Macros? 

Best,
Martin

Try this

ifn  ftgen 1,0,64,7,0,64,0  ; create a table with zeros

instr 2

itab ftgen 0, 0, 0, 1, p4, 0, 0, 0   ; load table with sfile
tabw_i  itab, p5, 1                        ; save number in ftable 1

endin

then use

itab tab_i  inum, 1

to get the number of the table you want to read

Regards

Victor

Hi Victor,

cool. That's what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Best,

Also if you are using the new parser you can do

instr 2

itab ftgen ....
tsample[p5] = itab

endin
