## slider64

slider64 — Creates a bank of 64 different MIDI control message numbers.

## Description

Creates a bank of 64 different MIDI control message numbers.

## Syntax

    i1,...,i64 slider64 ichan, ictlnum1, imin1, imax1, init1, ifn1,..., \
          ictlnum64, imin64, imax64, init64, ifn64

    k1,...,k64 slider64 ichan, ictlnum1, imin1, imax1, init1, ifn1,..., \
          ictlnum64, imin64, imax64, init64, ifn64

## Initialization

i1 ... i64 -- output values

ichan -- MIDI channel (1-16)

ictlnum1 ... ictlnum64 -- MIDI control number (0-127)

imin1 ... imin64 -- minimum values for each controller

imax1 ... imax64 -- maximum values for each controller

init1 ... init64 -- initial value for each controller

ifn1 ... ifn64 -- function table for conversion for each controller

## Performance

k1 ... k64 -- output values

slider64 is a bank of MIDI controllers, useful when using MIDI mixer such as Kawai MM-16 or others for changing whatever sound parameter in real-time. The raw MIDI control messages at the input port are converted to agree with iminN and imaxN, and an initial value can be set. Also, an optional non-interpolated function table with a custom translation curve is allowed, useful for enabling exponential response curves.

When no function table translation is required, set the ifnN value to 0, else set ifnN to a valid function table number. When table translation is enabled (i.e. setting ifnN value to a non-zero number referring to an already allocated function table), initN value should be set equal to iminN or imaxN value, else the initial output value will not be the same as specified in initN argument.

slider64 allows a bank of 64 different MIDI control message numbers.

As the input and output arguments are many, you can split the line using '\' (backslash) character (new in 3.47 version) to improve the readability. Using these opcodes is considerably more efficient than using the separate ones (ctrl7 and tonek) when more controllers are required.

In the i-rate version of slider64, there is not an initial value input argument, because the output is gotten directly from current status of internal controller array of Csound.

Thanks goes to Rasmus Ekman for pointing out the correct MIDI channel and controller number ranges.
