Is this supposed to be valid? It is on 6.09.1.

aVec init 42           ; I tried vaset at perf-time and it also works.

kControl = aVec    ; Downsampling error?

printk2 kControl    ; kControl = 42.0000

Cheers!

Hey Rory,

Thanks for the tip! I'd also read about the k() converter in the new
Springer book, but there I see:

Finally, audio variables and expressions cannot be assigned directly to
control
variables. This is because we are going from many values (the vector),
to a single
one (a scalar).

So either there was a recent change, the book is wrong or the code is wrong.

Cheers!

In principle, we can't, but the code might have become more permissible. It's probably copying the first element of the vector.

So the book is right, even if the parser is not enforcing it.

Thanks, Victor. Indeed, copying the first element is the behaviour I was
observing.
