Description

These units will print orchestra init-values, or produce graphic display of orchestra control signals and audio signals. Uses X11 windows if enabled, else (or if -g flag is set) displays are approximated in ASCII characters.

Syntax

print iarg [, iarg1] [, iarg2] [...]

Initialization

iarg, iarg2, ... -- i-rate arguments.

Performance

print -- print the current value of the i-time arguments (or expressions) iarg at every i-pass through the instrument.

Examples

Here is an example of the print opcode. It uses the file print.csd.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-odac           -iadc    ;;;RT audio I/O
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o print.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1.
instr 1
  ; Print the fourth p-field.
  print p4
endin


</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>

; p4 = value to be printed.
; Play Instrument #1 for one second, p4 = 50.375.
i 1 0 1 50.375
; Play Instrument #1 for one second, p4 = 300.
i 1 1 1 300
; Play Instrument #1 for one second, p4 = -999.
i 1 2 1 -999
e


</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

          

Its output should include lines like this:

instr 1:  p4 = 50.375
instr 1:  p4 = 300.000
instr 1:  p4 = -999.000
