i want to create a flexible udo design for using audio arrays as input. especially i want to dynamically sum the signals for the output array.
in more detail:
i have a udo which gets a audio array of size N as input.
inside the udo i create a output array of size N.
i #define a macro with the soundmodifications, which then should be called i a loop of N iterations.
i this way i want to automatically sum the signals for the output.
the problem is, i only get one iteration of the loop. so i guess the loop idea is not working and i should use recursion….
but i can’t figure out right now how this can be done with the macro.
Hi Philipp, not sure exactly how to fix the overall concept (not familiar with macros and rarely use audio arrays) but I think the if loop will only run once as it’s i time so it only calls the macro once (if you put “print iCount” in the macro you can see it runs only once). A while/until loop will run multiple iterations (it does print iCount iArrayLength times) but not sure that helps in the long run.
Curious to know if you find a solution though, hopefully someone else can be more helpful.
i guess it’s not the loops fault
My guess is that you can’t do a text replacement, and this is what the macro is doing, in a loop. better: you just copy the text there for once.
I guess the macro is replaced in the preprocessor and it has something to do how the text is inserted there.
But i really like working with macros now. This is my first time using this and it makes the code much cleaner.
at first, i must confess that i don't like macros in csound code, unless very restricted cases. so if you like them, i am not a good partner in communication ... =)
but i am wondering: why don't you use another UDO for what you write as macro? instead of
