nrpn — Sends a Non-Registered Parameter Number to the MIDI OUT port.
Sends a NPRN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) message to the MIDI OUT port each time one of the input arguments changes.
kchan -- MIDI channel (1-16)
kparmnum -- number of NRPN parameter
kparmvalue -- value of NRPN parameter
This opcode sends new message when the MIDI translated value of one of the input arguments changes. It operates at k-rate. Useful with the MIDI instruments that recognize NRPNs (for example with the newest sound-cards with internal MIDI synthesizer such as SB AWE32, AWE64, GUS etc. in which each patch parameter can be changed during the performance via NRPN)
Here is an example of the nrpn opcode. It uses the file nrpn.csd.
Example 663. Example of the nrpn opcode.
See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
This example generates notes for every note received on the MIDI input. It generates MIDI notes on csound's MIDI output, so be sure to connect something.
