timek is for time in k-rate cycles. So with:
then after half a second, the timek opcode would report 3150. It will always report an integer.timek can produce a k-rate variable for output. There are no input parameters.
timek can also operate only at the start of the instance of the instrument. It produces an i-rate variable (starting with i or gi) as its output.
Here is an example of the timek opcode. It uses the files timek.orc and timek.sco.
Example 1. Example of the timek opcode.
/* timek.orc */
; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1
; Instrument #1.
instr 1
; Print out the value from timek every half-second.
k1 timek
printks "k1 = %f samples\\n", 0.5, k1
endin
/* timek.orc */
/* timek.sco */
; Play Instrument #1 for two seconds.
