Signal Table Lookup (multichannel) Use table~ to remap incoming signal values with a table object. Cycling '74 MSP Input Incoming signal values are used as indices for table lookup. If your input signal is not in the range of 0 to the table size, use the inmap attribute to specify an input range to map to the entire size of the table. Note the indices are zero-relative so for a table of size 128 the indices range from 0 to 127. TEXT_HERE Output Output signal values produced by table lookup. If you want to adjust the range of the table values (for example so they range from 0 to 1), use the outscale attribute to specify an output range. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Output random value The bang message treats the table as a probability distribution and outputs a signal corresponding to a randomly chosen index within the table. A location in the table with a higher value is more likely to have its index selected. Set index for table lookup See description for float Set index for table lookup When a signal is not connected to the inlet of table~, a number sets the index to use for table lookup output. If the number contains a fractional part and interp is set to Linear, the output will be interpolated between two table values. The number is also mapped to an index according to the current setting of the inmap attribute and the table value is scaled according to the outscale attribute. Edit table values Double-clicking on a table~ object opens a window where you can edit the values of the lookup table. Change index for prev and next messages The word goto, followed by a table index, sets the next table index used by either the prev or next messages as they increment or decrement through the table. Unlike a float or int, goto itself does not change the output of the table~ object and its index is not modified by the inmap attribute. Increment table index When a signal is not connected to the inlet of table~, the next message adds one to the most recent table index set by the int, or float, then causes the table~ to output the value at this index as a signal. If a goto message immediately preceded next, the value at the specified index is output. Note that next does not force the table index to an integer value, so it preserves any fractional part of the index caused by a previous float message. When next increments the index and it is larger than the table size, it wraps around to zero. Decrement table index When a signal is not connected to the inlet of table~, the prev message subtracts one from the most recent table index set by the int, or float, then causes the table~ to output the value at this index as a signal. If a goto message immediately preceded prev, the value at the specified index is output. Note that prev does not force the table index to an integer value, so it preserves any fractional part of the index caused by a previous float message. When prev decrements the index and it becomes less than zero, it will wrap around to the end of the table. Signal Input Incoming signal values are used as indices for table lookup. Save Data With Patcher When the embed attribute is enabled, table values are saved in a patcher file and restored when it is reopened. Index Outside Table Handling The extend attribute controls how table~ responds when an input index value (either signal or float) is less than zero or greater than the table size. Output zero When extend is Zero (0), a zero signal is output when the index is outside the table bounds. Output lowest or highest table values When extend is set to Extend (1), table~ outputs the value at index 0 is output when the input index less than zero. It outputs the value at the highest table index is when the input index is greater than the table size. Wrap index When extend is set to Wrap (2), table~ performs a modulo operation on the input index. Example: if the table size is 128 and the input is 130, the value at index 2 (130 mod 128) will be output. Don't change output When extend is set to Ignore (3), any input index outside the table size is ignored and does not change the output. Input Scale to Table Index The inmap attribute specifies a range of input samples to map to table indices. For instance if your input signal will be between 0 and 1, you can use an inmap of 0 1, which will scale to the current size of the table. If the table changes size, the current input map adjusts automatically. To clear the current inmap, use a value of none or 0 0. Input Mode The inputmode attribute determines how input values produce output values. Lookup When inputmode is set to Lookup (0), an incoming value is used as an index into the table. Increment Index When inputmode is set to Increment Index (1), a change event in the input signal (according to the setting of the triggermode attribute) causes the table to output the value at the next index. Random Distribution When inputmode is set to Random Distribution (2), a change event in the input signal (according to the setting of the triggermode attribute) causes the table to output a value based on using the table data as a probability distribution. See the bang message for more details. Interpolation Mode The interp attribute determines how input values between integer table indices produce output. Truncate Index When interp is set to None (0), an incoming value is truncated to its integer value before the lookup. No interpolation is performed. Linear Interpolation When interp is set to Linear (1), the output for any input value between two table indices is linearly interpolated between the table values at those two indices. For example, an input of 1.5 -- with table values of 5 at index 1 and 10 at index 2 -- produces an output of 7.5. Round Index When interp is set to Round (2), an incoming value is rounded to the nearest integer value before the lookup. No interpolation is performed. Table Name The name attribute permits table data to be shared among multiple table objects (table~, table, or itable) with the same name. Changing the name switches the table used for lookup. Output Scaling The outscale attribute specifies a range of output samples. The current range of the table will map to the specified range. For example, if you want the output of table~ to range from 0 - 1, set outscale to 0 1. The output scaling adjusts automatically to keep output values in the specified range even if the table range changes. To clear the current outscale use a value of none or 0 0. Enable parameter mode Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters. Visible to Mapping When parameter_mappable is enabled, the object will be available for mapping to keyboard or MIDI input using the Mappings feature. (default = 1). Table Range Sets the range of table values. If the signed attribute is not enabled, the maximum table value is one less than the range. For example if the range is 128, table values range from 0 to 127. If signed is enabled, table values range from +/- the range value. For example if the range is 128, table values will be -128 to 128. Signed Values If the signed attribute is enabled, table values range from +/- the range value. For example if the range is 128, table values will be -128 to 128. Changing the state of signed attribute does not modify table values. Table Size Sets the number of elements in the table. Indices range from 0 to one less than the size. Trigger Mode The triggermode attribute determines how input values are interpret as change events for triggering either an incremented index or random probability output according to the setting of the inputmode attribute. When inputmode is set to 0 (Lookup), the triggermode attribute has no effect and is disabled. Zero to Non-Zero When triggermode is set to Zero to Non-Zero (0), a non-zero sample value in the input that follows a zero sample value causes a change event to occur. Change When triggermode is set to Change (1), a sample value in the input that differs from the previous value causes a change event to occur.
