[Csnd] bpf with discrete steps

The Csound Mailinglist

Hey hey,
to prefix: I know that bpf should theoretically do this, but I wondered if there is an even more straightforward alternative.

I have an input signal kInput and I want to generate kOutput. It should happen in steps:
if kInput >=0 < ix1: kOutput y1
if kInput >= iX1 < iX2: kOutput y2
...
if kInput >= iXn: kOUtput = yn

This could be done with if and elseif statements or with bpf using two points at every iX point. Though with bpf, I think, these points should have strict ordering. A minimal issue though.

Any other ideas? Something in the Csound universe I missed?

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Hi Eduardo,
many thanks for your reply. This does look elegant and efficient enough. bpf absolutely rocks! Best utility in the past few years!

Best wishes,
