## s16b14

s16b14 — Creates a bank of 16 different 14-bit MIDI control message numbers.

## Description

Creates a bank of 16 different 14-bit MIDI control message numbers.

## Syntax

    i1,...,i16 s16b14 ichan, ictlno_msb1, ictlno_lsb1, imin1, imax1, \
          initvalue1, ifn1,..., ictlno_msb16, ictlno_lsb16, imin16, imax16, initvalue16, ifn16

    k1,...,k16 s16b14 ichan, ictlno_msb1, ictlno_lsb1, imin1, imax1, \
          initvalue1, ifn1,..., ictlno_msb16, ictlno_lsb16, imin16, imax16, initvalue16, ifn16

## Initialization

i1 ... i64 -- output values

ichan -- MIDI channel (1-16)

ictlno_msb1 .... ictlno_msb32 -- MIDI control number, most significant byte (0-127)

ictlno_lsb1 .... ictlno_lsb32 -- MIDI control number, least significant byte (0-127)

imin1 ... imin64 -- minimum values for each controller

imax1 ... imax64 -- maximum values for each controller

init1 ... init64 -- initial value for each controller

ifn1 ... ifn64 -- function table for conversion for each controller

## Performance

k1 ... k64 -- output values

s16b14 is a bank of MIDI controllers, useful when using MIDI mixer such as Kawai MM-16 or others for changing whatever sound parameter in real-time. The raw MIDI control messages at the input port are converted to agree with iminN and imaxN, and an initial value can be set. Also, an optional non-interpolated function table with a custom translation curve is allowed, useful for enabling exponential response curves.

When no function table translation is required, set the ifnN value to 0, else set ifnN to a valid function table number. When table translation is enabled (i.e. setting ifnN value to a non-zero number referring to an already allocated function table), initN value should be set equal to iminN or imaxN value, else the initial output value will not be the same as specified in initN argument.

s16b14 allows a bank of 16 different MIDI control message numbers. It uses 14-bit values instead of MIDI's normal 7-bit values.

As the input and output arguments are many, you can split the line using '\' (backslash) character (new in 3.47 version) to improve the readability. Using these opcodes is considerably more efficient than using the separate ones (ctrl7 and tonek) when more controllers are required.

In the i-rate version of s16b14, there is not an initial value input argument. The output is taken directly from the current status of internal controller array of Csound.
