<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Periodically writes three orchestra control-signal values to a named external file in a specific format.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Syntax">
<a id="id2832011"></a>
<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis"><span class="command"><strong>dumpk3</strong></span> ksig1, ksig2, ksig3, ifilname, iformat, iprd</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="id2832028"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifilname</em></span> -- character string (in double quotes, spaces permitted) denoting the external file name. May either be a full path name with target directory specified or a simple filename to be created within the current directory
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iformat</em></span> -- specifies the output data format:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
<p>1 = 8-bit signed char(high order 8 bits of a 16-bit integer</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>4 = 16-bit short integers</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>5 = 32-bit long integers</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>6 = 32-bit floats</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>7 = ASCII long integers</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>8 = ASCII floats (2 decimal places)</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Note that A-law and U-law output are not available, and that all formats except the last two are binary. The output file contains no header information.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iprd</em></span> -- the period of <span class="emphasis"><em>ksig</em></span> output in seconds, rounded to the nearest orchestra control period. A value of 0 implies one control period (the enforced minimum), which will create an output file sampled at the orchestra control rate.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="id2833000"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ksig1, ksig2, ksig3</em></span> -- control-rate signals
</p>
<p>
This opcode allows three generated control signal values to be saved in a named external file. The file contains no self-defining header information. But it contains a regularly sampled time series, suitable for later input or analysis. There may be any number of <span class="emphasis"><em>dumpk3</em></span> opcodes in an instrument or orchestra but each must write to a different file.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Examples">
<a id="id2833027"></a>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>
See the example for <a class="link" href="dumpk.html" title="dumpk"><em class="citetitle">dumpk</em></a>. The only difference between <a class="link" href="dumpk.html" title="dumpk"><em class="citetitle">dumpk</em></a> and <span class="emphasis"><em>dumpk3</em></span> is that <span class="emphasis"><em>dumpk3</em></span> can write three values at a time from the file.
