fluidOut — Outputs sound from a given fluidEngine
Plugin opcode in fluidOpcodes. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins
Outputs the sound from a fluidEngine.
aleft -- Left channel audio output.
aright -- Right channel audio output.
Invoke fluidOut in an instrument definition numbered higher than any fluidcontrol instrument definitions. All SoundFonts used in the fluidEngine numbered ienginenum send their audio output to this one opcode. Send a note with an indefinite duration to this instrument to turn the SoundFonts on for as long as required.
Here is an example of the fluidOut opcode with two fluidOuts. It uses the file fluidOut.csd, 01hpschd.sf2 and 22Bassoon.sf2.
Example 346. Example of the fluidOut opcode.
