Charles,

Along with what Iain has said:

I think also that (with respect to your first point)

kdelay init 1
kdelay ctrl7 8,13,0,4

*might* work.

Whichever way you go there still may be a problem:

When you first move the slider, kdelay will immediately *jump* to the new value.

As a result, I always specify either:

1) Presetting sliders to zero, or

2) Presetting sliders to initial values,

all before starting Csound.

Hi Charles,

1. You have to 'fool' Csound into thinking that a midi controller has been moved to an initial position, otherwise it assumes it is at its minimum position. 'initc7' will give Csound an initial position for that MIDI controller (0=min,1=max). For an initial value of '1' in your case, use:

initc7 8,13,0.25

(1-0)/(4-0)
in instrument 0

2. As I understand it, you want pan controller movement to the right to transpose up to +2 octaves, to the left to transpose to -2 octaves and in the centre no transposition.
You can you 'oct' format to quickly implement this:

;init. set at midway position
initc7 8,12,0.5
;;
;transposition in octaves
koct ctrl7 8,12,-2,2
;convert to a frequency rescaling ratio
kscale = cpsoct(8+koct)/cpsoct(8)

Bye,
Iain
