## zar

zir — Reads from a location in za space at a-rate.

## Description

Reads from a location in za space at a-rate.

## Syntax

    ares zar kndx

## Performance

kndx -- points to the za location to be read.

zar reads the array of floats at kndx in za space, which are ksmps number of a-rate floats to be processed in a k cycle.

## Examples

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

Example 1246. Example of the zar opcode.
