Description

Writes to a zk variable to an i-rate variable with mixing.

Syntax

ziwm isig, indx [, imix]

Initialization

isig -- initializes the value of the zk location.

indx -- points to the zk location location to which to write.

imix (optional, default=1) -- indicates if mixing should occur.

Performance

ziwm is a mixing opcode, it adds the signal to the current value of the variable. If no imix is specified, mixing always occurs. imix = 0 will cause overwriting like ziw, zkw, and zaw. Any other value will cause mixing.

Caution: When using the mixing opcodes ziwm, zkwm, and zawm, care must be taken that the variables mixed to, are zeroed at the end (or start) of each k- or a-cycle. Continuing to add signals to them, can cause their values can drift to astronomical figures.

One approach would be to establish certain ranges of zk or za variables to be used for mixing, then use zkcl or zacl to clear those ranges.

Examples

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