Subject[Csnd] Best way to change a running instrument's params?
Say you have an instrument playing a long note, and during that I want to
change certain k-rate params.
What would be the best way to do that? Channels?

Depends on howyou want to change the parameter.  If computed global
variables work well.  If from external controls then channels.  Or OSC
etc....

MIDI? As John said, it all depends on how you want to change the
k-rate parameters, are they to be automated, of controlled manually?

Subject[Csnd] Re: Best way to change a running instrument's params?
I was thinking of envelopes coming from a rhythm instrument, like a
metronome.
So I guess global variables would be handy then.

Is there also a way to do this with events and (extra) p-fields?
So the instrument would be started with all p-fields initially (say 8), but
after that the p-fields > 4 would be used to modulate the instrument.
Is there a way to use events with all p-fields, masking the initial 4
fields? (since the instrument is already playing)

If I understand correctly, you could use tied-notes for this. The instrument coding would have to check if it's a tied note, and if so, reinitialize only the parts you need, and skip initialization for other parts.
