<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
These statements are global value <a class="link" href="assign.html" title="="><em class="citetitle">assignments</em></a>, made
at the beginning of an orchestra, before any instrument block is
defined. Their function is to set certain <a class="link" href="OrchKvar.html#VariableTypes" title="Table 3. Types of Variables"><em class="citetitle">reserved symbol
variables</em></a> that are required for
performance. Once set, these reserved symbols can be used in
expressions anywhere in the orchestra.

<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>nchns_i</em></span> = (optional) -- set number of channels of
audio input to <span class="emphasis"><em>iarg</em></span>. (1 = mono, 2 = stereo, 4 =
quadraphonic.) The default value is the valus of <span class="emphasis"><em>nchnls</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
In addition, any <a class="link" href="OrchKvar.html#GlobalVariables"><em class="citetitle">global variable</em></a> can be initialized by an <span class="emphasis"><em>init-time assignment</em></span> anywhere before the first <a class="link" href="instr.html" title="instr"><em class="citetitle">instr statement</em></a>. All of the above assignments are run as instrument 0 (i-pass only) at the start of real performance.
