Description

Read absolute time, in k-rate cycles, since the start of an instance of an instrument. Called at both i-time as well as k-time. NB: the returned value at k-time starts at 1

Syntax

kres eventcycles

Performance

eventcycles is for time in k-rate cycles. So with:

  sr    = 44100
  kr    = 6300
  ksmps = 7

then after half a second, the eventcycles opcode would report 3150. It will always report an integer.

eventcycles produces a k-rate variable for output. There are no input parameters.

eventcycles is similar to elapsedcycles except it returns the time since the start of this instance of the instrument.

	Note
	eventcycles acts like timeinstk but it returns the correct values instead of being one cycle late.
