## fink

fink — Read signals from a file at k-rate.

## Description

Read signals from a file at k-rate.

## Syntax

    fink ifilename, iskipframes, iformat, kin1 [, kin2] [, kin3] [,...]

## Initialization

ifilename -- input file name (can be a string or a handle number generated by fiopen)

iskipframes -- number of frames to skip at the start (every frame contains a sample of each channel)

iformat -- a number specifying the input file format. If a header is found, this argument is ignored.

- 0 - 32 bit floating points without header

- 1 - 16 bit integers without header

## Performance

fink is the same as fin but operates at k-rate.

| Note
Please note that since this opcode generates its output using input parameters (on the right side of the opcode), these variables must be initialized before use, otherwise a 'used before defined' error will occur. You can use the init opcode for this.

## Examples

Here is an example of the fink opcode. It uses the file fink.csd.

Example 302. Example of the fink opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

Note that this example requires the file test.txt to be created, for example by fouti

    -odac     ;;;realtime audio out
    ;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too
    ; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
    ; -o fink.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
    </CsOptions>
    <CsInstruments>

    sr = 44100
