# zkr

zkr -- Reads from a location in zk space at k-rate.

## Description

Reads from a location in zk space at k-rate.

## Syntax

kr zkr kndx

## Initialization

kndx -- points to the zk location to be read.

## Performance

zkr reads the array of floats at kndx in zk space.

## Examples

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

Example 1. Example of the zkr opcode.

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

    ; Initialize the ZAK space.
    ; Create 1 a-rate variable and 1 k-rate variable.
    zakinit 1, 1

    ; Instrument #1 -- a simple waveform.
    instr 1
      ; Linearly vary a k-rate signal from 440 to 880.
      kline line 440, p3, 880

      ; Add the linear signal to zk variable #1.
      zkw kline, 1
    endin

    ; Instrument #2 -- generates audio output.
    instr 2
      ; Read zk variable #1.
      kfreq zkr 1

      ; Use the value of zk variable #1 to vary
      ; the frequency of a sine waveform.
      a1 oscil 20000, kfreq, 1

      ; Generate the audio output.
      out a1

      ; Clear the zk variables, get them ready for
      ; another pass.
      zkcl 0, 1
    endin
    /* zkr.orc */

    /* zkr.sco */
    ; Table #1, a sine wave.
    f 1 0 16384 10 1

    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
    i 1 0 1
    ; Play Instrument #2 for one second.
    i 2 0 1

    /* zkr.sco */
