zamod — Modulates one a-rate signal by a second one.
asig -- the input signal
kzamod -- controls which za variable is used for modulation. A positive value means additive modulation, a negative value means multiplicative modulation. A value of 0 means no change to asig.
zamod modulates one a-rate signal by a second one, which comes from a za variable. The location of the modulating variable is controlled by the i-rate or k-rate variable kzamod. This is the a-rate version of zkmod.
Here is an example of the zamod opcode. It uses the file zamod.csd.
