jsfx_new

Abstract

Instantiates a jsfx script

Description

jsfx_new instantiates and compiles a jsfx script (at init time). It returns a handle which can be used to modify control values and perform audio io. It is also possible to instantiate and play a script with only one opcode via jsfx.

jsfx

jsfx is an audio programming language implemented pritarily as part of the DAW REAPER. It is a scriptiong language with a built-in jit compiler which translates it to machine code on the fly. It allows the user to operate at the sample level (like defining an udo with setksmps 1 but more efficient). It is around 2x to 2.5x slower than hand-coded C.

jsfx input / output

A jsfx script has a certain number of audio input / output channels, and a series of "sliders", which are parameters operating at control rate. A script can also use these sliders to send control values, which can be read in csound via jsfx_getslider See https://www.reaper.fm/sdk/js/js.php for more information about the syntax, etc.

Syntax

ihandle jsfx_new Spath

Arguments

  • Spath: the path to the jsfx script. Either an absolute path, a relative path to the .csd file, or a filename alone, in which case it will be searched first in the current dir and in $SSDIR, if defined.

Output

  • ihandle: a handle to the jsfx plugin created, which allows to operate on it later, for instance to perform audio io via jsfx_play

Execution Time

  • Init
