Hey hey,
I was wondering if my code could be more elegant.

I have a switch (kSwitch), which can have two states. Now I need to change it 
over time. At the moment I'm doing this:
kSwitch = linseg(0, iDur1, 0, 0, 1, iDur2, 1, 0, 0, iDur3 0)
Is there a better, nicer, easier way?

Best wishes and TIA,

Jeanette

Could you perhaps elaborate a little, please?

you mean the durations are not the same, so it is an aperiodic switch?

i have a udo which is:

opcode Switch, k, k[]
  kDurs[] xin
  kndx init 0
  kOut init 0
  if metro(1/kDurs[kndx])==1 then
   kOut = (kOut==0) ? 1 : 0
   kndx = (kndx+1) % lenarray(kDurs)
  endif
  xout kOut
endop

you can feed it with an array of the durations, e.g.

instr 1
  kOut Switch fillarray(1, .5, 1, .5, 2)
  printk2 kOut
endin
schedule(1,0,10)

it will read the array in a loop, but it could also stop at last value, 
or whatever behaviour you wish for your case.
