chnmix

Writes audio data to the named software bus, mixing to the previous output.

Implies declaring the channel with imode=2 (see also chn_a).

Syntax

chnmix(aval, Sname)

chnmix aval, Sname

Initialization

Sname -- a string that indicates which named channel of the software bus to write.

Performance

aval -- the audio signal to write at performance time.

Examples

Here is an example of the chnmix opcode. It uses the file chnmix-modern.csd.
