Hi,

I have some questions to instr 1 of example 6.2.orc in the new Csound-book:

1. What does negative table size in ftgen do (I can't find anything 
about this in the manual)?

2. The table pointer is incremented by ksmps, but how can tablew write 
to all the indices in between N*ksmps when you just use a(kpos) for index?

Best, Andreas

Example

idur = 5
isamps = round(idur*sr/ksmps)*ksmps
gifn ftgen 0,0,-isamps,2,0

instr 1
  kpos init 0
  asig inch 1
  tablew asig,a(kpos),gifn
  kpos += ksmps
  kpos = kpos == ftlen(gifn) ? 0 : kpos
endin
schedule(1,0,-1)

Negative sizes were used to stop Csound checking for power-of-two. Now it is not needed anymore.
The a(.) interpolates linearly between two consecutive k-values.
