Here is an example of the p opcode. It uses the files p.orc and p.sco.

Example 1. Example of the p opcode.

    /* p.orc */
    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      ; Get the value in the fourth p-field, p4.
      i1 = p(4)

      print i1
    endin
    /* p.orc */

    /* p.sco */
    ; p4 = value to be printed.
    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second, p4 = 50.375.
    i 1 0 1 50.375
    e
    /* p.sco */

Its output should include lines like:

    instr 1:  i1 = 50.375
