rtinput - open a sound file or audio device for reading
rtinput(input_source [, audio_type ])
Call rtinput to open a sound file, or an audio device, for subsequent reading by real-time instruments.
(``Audio device'' just refers to the hardware that handles sound I/O, such as a sound card on a PC or the built-in hardware on a Mac.)
After rtinput opens a sound file, it prints information about the file, such as the header type and sampling rate.
The older disk-based Cmix instruments use input to open files for reading, not rtinput.
If input_source is ``AUDIO,'' then input comes from the audio device. This lets you send input to RTcmix from a microphone or line-level source.
MIC is the default if no type is given.
rtinput("myfile.aif")
Opens ``myfile.aif,'' an AIFF file in the current directory, for reading by any instruments that follow this line in the script.
rtinput("/home/bubba/snd/trouble.wav")
Opens ``trouble.wav'' using a full path name.
rtinput("AUDIO")
Opens the audio device for reading.
