- <a id="id3364938"></a>
- <h2>Initialization</h2>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>ia</em></span> -- starting value.
- </p>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>ib, ic</em></span>, etc. -- value after <span class="emphasis"><em>dur1</em></span> seconds, etc.
- </p>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>idur1</em></span> -- duration in seconds of first segment. A zero or negative value will cause all initialization to be skipped.
- </p>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>idur2, idur3</em></span>, etc. -- duration in seconds of subsequent segments. A zero or negative value will terminate the initialization process with the preceding point, permitting the last-defined line or curve to be continued indefinitely in performance. The default is zero.

- </div>
- <div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
- <a id="id3364991"></a>
- <h2>Performance</h2>
- <p>
- These units generate control or audio signals whose values can pass through 2 or more specified points. The sum of <span class="emphasis"><em>dur</em></span> values may or may not equal the instrument's performance time: a shorter performance will truncate the specified pattern, while a longer one will cause the last-defined segment to continue on in the same direction.

- A common error with this opcode is to assume that the last value
- is held after the total duration. <span class="emphasis"><em>linseg</em></span> does not
- automatically end or stop at the end of the total duration. If your
- note length is longer than the sum of all <span class="emphasis"><em>idur</em></span>
- values, <span class="emphasis"><em>kres</em></span> (or <span class="emphasis"><em>ares</em></span>) will
- not come to rest at the last given value, but will instead continue to
- rise or fall with the current rate. You can add a final segment at the
- same previous value to create a held final value.
