cpspch (Csound opcode)

Note: I have started to move some scripts and source code from this website to GitHub.

This affects some or all of the scripts found on this page. They should be found
here.

I don't intend to maintain the scripts and or sources on this page any longer (so they might be outdated). But I will try to improve the code in the GitHub repository and accept Push Requests.

The highest tone on a piano (the C) plays on a frequency of 4186 Hertz. This tone is specified as 12.00 in pch notation. cpspch(12.00) returns 4186. 440 hertz is produced with cpspch(8.09).

sr     = 44100
kr     = 4410

  i_frq = cpspch(p4)

  print i_frq

cpspch.sco
i1  0   1    0.09
i1  +   1    1.09
i1  +   1    2.09
i1  +   1    3.09
i1  +   1    4.09
i1  +   1    5.09
i1  +   1    6.09
i1  +   1    7.09
i1  +   1    8.09
i1  +   1    9.09
i1  +   1   10.09
i1  +   1   11.09
The (for better readability) truncated output is: 
instr 1:  i_frq = 3.438
instr 1:  i_frq = 6.874
instr 1:  i_frq = 13.749
instr 1:  i_frq = 27.500
instr 1:  i_frq = 55.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 110.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 220.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 440.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 880.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 1760.000
instr 1:  i_frq = 3520.000
So, a 440hz tone is achieved with cpspch(7.09).
