ftcps

Returns the base frequency of a stored function table in Hz.

Syntax

ftcps(x) (init-rate args only)

Performance

Returns the base frequency of stored function table, number x. ftcps is designed for tables storing audio waveforms read from files (see GEN01).

ftcps returns -1 in case of an error (no base frequency set in table or non-existent table).

Examples

Here is an example of the ftcps opcode.
