cngoto

Transfers control on every pass when the condition is not true.

Syntax

cngoto 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 cngoto opcode. It uses the file cngoto.csd.

Its output should include lines like:

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