F Statement (Score Tables)

  F p1 p2 p3 p4 ...

Description

This causes a GEN subroutine to place values in a stored function table for use by instruments.

P Fields

  p1    Table number (from 1 to 200) by which the stored function will be known. A negative number requests that the table be destroyed.   
  p2    Action time of function generation (or destruction) in beats. 
  p3    Size of function table (i.e.  number of points) Must be a power of 2, or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see below). Maximum table size is 16777216 (2**24) points. 
  p4    Number of the GEN routine to be called (see GEN ROUTINES). A negative value will cause rescaling to be omitted. 
  p5    |
  p6    |    Parameters whose meaning is determined by the particular GEN
        |    routine.

Special Considerations

In this case, the function tables are created before score processing. This is different from the f statement. The syntax and the GEN routines used by F opcode are identical to those of the f statement. Tables created by F opcode are intended to be used together with T score arithmetic operator.
