release

release --  Indicates whether a note is in its "release" stage.

Description

Indicates whether a note is in its "release" stage.

Syntax

kflag release

Performance

kflag -- indicates whether the note is in its "release" stage.

release outputs current note state. If current note is in the "release" stage (i.e. if its duration has been extended with xtratim opcode and if it has only just deactivated), then the kflag output argument is set to 1. Otherwise (in sustain stage of current note), kflag is set to 0.

This opcode is useful for implementing complex release-oriented envelopes.

Examples

 instr 1 ;allows complex ADSR envelope with MIDI events
  inum notnum
  icps cpsmidi
  iamp ampmidi 4000
 ;
 ;------- complex envelope block ------
  xtratim 1 ;extra-time, i.e. release dur
  krel init 0
  krel release ;outputs release-stage flag (0 or 1 values)
  if (krel  .5) kgoto rel ;if in release-stage goto release section
 ;
 ;************ attack and sustain section ***********
  kmp1 linseg 0, .03, 1, .05, 1, .07, 0, .08, .5, 4, 1, 50, 1
  kmp = kmp1*iamp
   kgoto done
 ;
 ;--------- release section --------
   rel:
  kmp2 linseg 1, .3, .2, .7, 0
  kmp = kmp1*kmp2*iamp
  done:
