framebuffer

Read audio signals into 1 dimensional k-rate arrays and vice-versa with a specified buffer size.

Plugin opcode in framebuffer.

framebuffer converts audio signals into a 1 dimensional k-rate array of a specified size. The size of the k-rate array must be larger than ksmps. It also converts 1 dimensional k-rate arrays back into audio signals, the k-rate arrays must be uninitialised and also be larger than ksmps in size. The buffer works as a circular buffer and may be used for doing frame based audio processing such as spectral analysis/synthesis or as a simple delay line.

Syntax

kout[] framebuffer ain, isize
aout framebuffer kin, isize

Initialization

isize -- The amount of samples that the buffer will contain.

Performance

kout[] -- The k-rate array output from the framebuffer. ain -- The audio signal input to the framebuffer.

aout -- The audio signal output from the framebuffer. kin -- The k-rate array input to the framebuffer.

Examples

Here is a simple example of the framebuffer opcode. It uses the file framebuffer.csd.
