| From the SynthDef helpfile: initial rate - Arguments that begin with "i_" (e.g. i_freq), or that are specified as \ir in the def's rates argument (see below), will be static and non-modulatable. They will not respond to /n_set or /n_map. This is slightly more efficient in terms of CPU than a regular arg. trigger rate - Arguments that begin with "t_" (e.g. t_trig), or that are specified as \tr in the def's rates argument (see below), will be made as a TrigControl. Setting the argument will create a control-rate impulse at the set value. This is useful for triggers. Josh On Nov 3, 2006, at 4:58 PM, Stan Hoffman wrote:
