## downsamp

downsamp — Modify a signal by down-sampling.

## Description

Modify a signal by down-sampling.

## Syntax

    kres downsamp asig [, iwlen]

## Initialization

iwlen (optional) -- window length in samples over which the audio signal is averaged to determine a downsampled value. Maximum length is ksmps; 0 and 1 imply no window averaging. The default value is 0.

## Performance

downsamp converts an audio signal to a control signal by downsampling. It produces one kval for each audio control period. The optional window invokes a simple averaging process to suppress foldover.

## Examples

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