## cmp

cmp — Compares audio signals or arrays

## Description

Plugin opcode in emugens.

Compares audio signals or arrays, sample by sample or value by value All comparison operations are possible: `< `<=, >, >=, ==, !=

An audio signal can be compared against another audio signal, or against a scalar (i- or k-value).

    aOut cmp aL, ">", aR
    aOut cmp aIn, ">=", 0.5
    aOut cmp aIn, "`<=", kthreshold

An array can be compared against another array, against a scalar, or checked to be within the range of two scalars. All operations are available for i- and k- arrays

            kOut[] cmp kIn[], ">=", kx
            kOut[] cmp kA[], "==", kB[]
            kOut[] cmp 0.5, "`<", kIn[], "`<=", 1

## Syntax

    aout cmp a1, S_operator, a2

    aout cmp a1, S_operator, kb

    kOut[] cmp kA[], S_operator, kb

    kOut[] cmp kA[], S_operator, kB[]

    kOut[] cmp k1, S_operator1, kIn[], S_operator2, k2

## Initialization

S_operator Math operator, one of ">", ">=", "`<", "`<=", "=="

## Performance

a1 / a2 -- Input signals

kb / ib -- Scalar term

kA[] / kB[] -- array inputs

Some example usages:

    aout cmp aL, ">", aR      ; aout = aL > aR for every sample
    aout cmp aL, ">=", aR
    aout cmp aL, "`<", aR
    aout cmp aL, "`<=", aR
    aout cmp aL, "==", aR
    kOut[] cmp kA, ">=", kb   ; kA is an array

## Examples

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

    cmp

    compare audio or arrays, value by value

    Audio:
      * compare audio signals, sample by sample, against another signal or scalar
      * compara audio singal, sample by sample, within a range:
        aout cmp klo, "<", ain, "<=", khi

    Arrays:
      * compare arrays value by value or against a scalar
      * compare array value by value within a range:
        kout[] = klo < kin[] <= khi   ->   kout[] cmp klo, "<", kin[], "<=", khi
