## chani

chani — Reads data from the software bus

## Description

Reads data from a channel of the inward software bus.

## Syntax

    kval chani kchan

    aval chani kchan

## Initialization

## Performance

kchan -- a positive integer that indicates which channel of the software bus to read

Note that the inward and outward software busses are independent, and are not mixer buses. The last value remains until a new value is written. There is no imposed limit to the number of busses but they use memory so small numbers are to be preferred.

## Example

The example shows the software bus being used as an asynchronous control signal to select a filter cutoff. It assumes that an external program that has access to the API is feeding the values

            sr = 44100
            ksmps = 100
            nchnls = 1

            instr   1
               kc   chani     1
               a1   oscil     p4, p5, 100
               a2   lowpass2  a1, kc, 200
                    out       a2
            endin
