Hi,

I am not sure if you have solved already your problem. What I did a bit in similar situation was to put the arrays into another array so resulting a two-dimensional array and using an index to disitinguish between them:

giStdScale[] array 1, 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 45/32, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 16/9, 15/8

giAltScale[] array 1, 15/14, 8/7, 7/6, 9/7, 7/5, 64/45, 10/7, 14/9, 12/7, 7/4, 28/15

giScales[] array giStdScale, giAltScale

; constants for clearer code:

#define STD #0#

#define ALT #1#

;....

if kHoldKey > 0 then

kFreq = giBaseFreq * (2^kOctave) * giScales[$STD][kStep]

else

kFreq = giBaseFreq * (2^kOctave) * giScales[$ALT][kStep]

endif

; etc---

Did not test, but I hope it helps.

best!

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is to use an alternate scale when I hold down an on/off controller key on my MIDI device.

As written, this code gives the following error:

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

Found: i = i[]
Line: 54 Loc: 1

The problem is that iScale is an i-type variable, not an i-array-type variable. But I don't want to initialize storage for an array variable; I want to just declare that it's an array variable so I can use it to reference the same array that's already stored in another variable. Is that possible? What syntax do I need?

you could do this to get your two-dimensional array:

giScales[] init 12, 12
giScales array 1, 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 45/32, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 16/9, 
15/8,
	 1, 15/14, 8/7, 7/6, 9/7, 7/5, 64/45, 10/7, 14/9, 12/7, 7/4, 28/15

but i must say, that i personally think that your first thought (to 
select one of some given arrays in a midi-triggered instrument, if i 
recall correctly) was better and gives clearer code. if you like, send 
the code again which did not work.

Oh, right,

I looked again what I did in my code and it was with array of table indexes, not arrays.

Indeed, would be nice to have more flexible way to define two-deimensional array. But at your case a woraroud replacing firt two arrays could help:

giStdScale ftgen 0,0,-13,-2, 1, 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 45/32, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3,

16/9, 15/8

giAltScale ftgen 0,0,-13,-2, 1, 15/14, 8/7, 7/6, 9/7, 7/5, 64/45, 10/7, 14/9, 12/7,

7/4, 28/15

giScales[] array giStdScale, giAltScale

and later:

kFreq = giBaseFreq * (2^kOctave) * tab(kStep,giScales[kHoldKey])

if I got you right.

best!

What I was _really_ hoping would work

giScales[] = array( array(1, 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 45/32, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 16/9, 15/8), \

gives

Oh well, at least I have something that works.
