## vexpseg

vexpseg — Vectorial envelope generator

## Description

Generate exponential vectorial segments

## Syntax

    vexpseg  ifnout, ielements, ifn1, idur1, ifn2 [, idur2, ifn3 [...]]

## Initialization

ifnout - number of table hosting output vectorial signal

ifn1 - starting vector

ifn2, ifn3,etc. - vector after idurx seconds

idur1 - duration in seconds of first segment.

idur2, idur3, etc. - duration in seconds of subsequent segments.

ielements - number of elements of vectors.

## Performance

These opcodes are similar to linseg and expseg, but operate with vectorial signals instead of with scalar signals.

Output is a vectorial control signal hosted by ifnout (that must be previously allocated), while each break-point of the envelope is actually a vector of values. All break-points must contain the same number of elements (ielements).

All these operators are designed to be used together with other opcodes that operate with vectorial signals such as>, vcella, adsynt, adsynt2, etc.

## Example

Here is an example of the vexpseg opcode. It uses the files vexpseg.csd.
