	I wonder why the following gives an error: instr 1 ; sound file player stereo gasigp5, gasig2p5 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 endin error: syntax error, unexpected '' (token "") from file convolutionFw.csd (1) The following works: instr 1 ; sound file player stereo gasig, gasig2 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 gasig = gasigp5 gasig2 = gasig2p5 endin why?

	I don't know off hand of any languages that allow modification of a return value at the point of assignment, so to me it makes sense to have to modify the values after they've been defined. But I can't speak for what the parser (or the underlying engine) expects and can handle. - Dave On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 3:31 PM, Richard <zappfinger@gmail.com> wrote: I wonder why the following gives an error: instr 1 ; sound file player stereo gasigp5, gasig2p5 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 endin error: syntax error, unexpected '' (token "") from file convolutionFw.csd (1) The following works: instr 1 ; sound file player stereo gasig, gasig2 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 gasig = gasigp5 gasig2 = gasig2p5 endin why?

	Because something like this isn't a part of the language and has never been. Outputs of arguments are assigned to variables. The only time left-hand arguments allow expressions of any sort at this time are when assigning to members of arrays (i.e., kArr[0] = 1), and the introduction of left-hand expressions was done specifically for that scenario. BTW: if you want smaller code, you can use: gasig, gasig2 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 gasig = p5 gasig2 = p5 On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 3:31 PM, Richard wrote: > I wonder why the following gives an error: > > instr 1 ; sound file player stereo > gasigp5, gasig2p5 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 > endin > > error: syntax error, unexpected '' (token "") from file convolutionFw.csd > (1) > > The following works: > > instr 1 ; sound file player stereo > gasig, gasig2 diskin2 p4,1,0,1 > gasig = gasigp5 > gasig2 = gasig2p5 > endin > > why? > > Richard > > Csound mailing list > Csound@listserv.heanet.ie > https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND > Send bugs reports to > https://github.com/csound/csound/issues > Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here
