ckgoto

During the p-time passes only, conditionally transfer control to the statement labeled by label.

Syntax

ckgoto condition, label

where label is in the same instrument block and is not an expression, and where condition uses one of the Relational operators (<, =, <=, ==, !=) (and = for convenience, see also under Conditional Values).

Examples

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

Its output should include lines like:

kval = 0.000000, kfreq = 440.000000
kval = 0.999732, kfreq = 440.000000
kval = 1.999639, kfreq = 880.000000
