## chanctrl

chanctrl — Get the current value of a MIDI channel controller.

## Description

Get the current value of a controller and optionally map it onto specified range.

## Syntax

    ival chanctrl ichnl, ictlno [, ilow] [, ihigh]

    kval chanctrl ichnl, ictlno [, ilow] [, ihigh]

## Initialization

ichnl -- the MIDI channel (1-16).

ictlno -- the MIDI controller number (0-127).

ilow, ihigh -- low and high ranges for mapping

## Examples

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

Example 129. Example of the chanctrl opcode.
