Hi,

are there any undocumented features in the code component? E.g. is it possible to make comments?

Best wishes, FRitz

both /* */ and // works just fine 🙂

Ah,

thanx stefan. I missed that yesterday when I had this problem with the "_" not being supported and it didn't work. I didn't recheck then that the comments haven't been the problem. Anything else that is in there and yet undocumented? 🙂

All the best, FRitz

The stages seem to be undocumented. Usually you only need to care about stage 0 and 1. You can put code into these stages if you want to, like this:

float a,b; stage(0) { a = sin1(0.3); } stage(1) { b = b + a; }

Or whatever. The code in stage(0) runs when the process is created. In a poly section this means that it will run when the poly voice is created, in a mono section this means that it will only run once. The code in stage(1) is what runs per sample.

Ah cool,

thanx stefan. That's useful.

What are the supported types of in/out? Is there something beside monoin, monoout, polyin, polyout?

Shifrin ·

There is also streamin and streamout 😉

Shif.

Not sure if the hop() and loop() functions are documented..

..

hop(12) //only excecute every 12 samples { .. }

and

loop(12) //loop 12 times { .. }

at the moment variables can't be used..

Thanx Sam,

no, I didn't find those documented. Got some ideas for these. 🙂

These are very interesting, in fact 😉

There is polyboolin & polyboolout (white boolean), but no mono/stream boolean functions...
