vmulti
Multiplies a vector in a table by a scalar value.
Note
Up to Csound 6, this opcode was called vmult_i.
Syntax
Initialization
ifn - number of the table hosting the vectorial signal to be processed
ival - scalar value to be multiplied
ielements - number of elements of the vector
idstoffset - index offset for the destination table
Performance
vmulti multiplies each element of the vector contained in the table ifn by ival, starting from table index idstoffset. This enables you to process a specific section of a table by specifying the offset and the number of elements to be processed. Offset is counted starting from 0, so if no offset is specified (or set to 0), the table will be modified from the beginning.
This opcode runs only on initialization, there is a k-rate version of this opcode called vmult.
Negative values for idstoffset are valid. Elements from the vector that are outside the table, will be discarded, and they will not wrap around the table.
In all these opcodes, the resulting vectors are stored in ifn, overriding the intial vectors. If you want to keep initial vector, use vcopy or vcopyi to copy it in another table. All these operators are designed to be used together with other opcodes that operate with vectorial signals such as , vcella, adsynt, adsynt2, etc. They can also be useful in conjunction with the spectral opcodes pvsftw and pvsftr.
