<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
This opcode operates on existing function tables, changing their
contents. <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> is for writing at k- or at a-rates, with the table
number being specified at init time. Using <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> with i-rate signal
and index values is allowed, but the specified data will always be written to the function table
at k-rate, not during the initialization pass. The valid combinations of variable
types are shown by the first letter of the variable names.

<h2>Performance</h2>
<div class="refsect2" title="Limit mode (0)">
<a id="idp47970152"></a>
<h3>Limit mode (0)</h3>
<p>
Limit the total index (<span class="emphasis"><em>ndx</em></span> + <span class="emphasis"><em>ixoff</em></span>) to between 0 and the guard point. For a table of length 5, this means that locations 0 to 3 and location 4 (the guard point) can be written. A negative total index writes to location 0.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect2" title="Wrap mode (1)">
<a id="idp47971392"></a>
<h3>Wrap mode (1)</h3>
<p>
Wrap total index value into locations 0 to E, where E is either one less than the table length or the factor of 2 number which is one less than the table length. For example, wrap into a 0 to 3 range - so that total index 6 writes to location 2.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect2" title="Guardpoint mode (2)">
<a id="idp47972264"></a>
<h3>Guardpoint mode (2)</h3>
<p>
The guardpoint is written at the same time as location 0 is written - with the same value.
</p>
<p>
This facilitates writing to tables which are intended to be read with interpolation for producing smooth cyclic waveforms. In addition, before it is used, the total index is incremented by half the range between one location and the next, before being rounded down to the integer address of a table location.
</p>
<p>
Normally (<span class="emphasis"><em>igwmode</em></span> = 0 or 1) for a table of length 5 - which has locations 0 to 3 as the main table and location 4 as the guard point, a total index in the range of 0 to 0.999 will write to location 0. ("0.999" means just less than 1.0.) 1.0 to 1.999 will write to location 1 etc. A similar pattern holds for all total indexes 0 to 4.999 (<span class="emphasis"><em>igwmode</em></span> = 0) or to 3.999 (<span class="emphasis"><em>igwmode</em></span> = 1). <span class="emphasis"><em>igwmode</em></span> = 0 enables locations 0 to 4 to be written - with the guardpoint (4) being written with a potentially different value from location 0.
</p>
<p>
With a table of length 5 and the <span class="emphasis"><em>iwgmode</em></span> = 2, then when the total index is in the range 0 to 0.499, it will write to locations 0 and 4. Range 0.5 to 1.499 will write to location 1 etc. 3.5 to 4.0 will also write to locations 0 and 4.
</p>
<p>
This way, the writing operation most closely approximates the results of interpolated reading. Guard point mode should only be used with tables that have a guardpoint.
</p>
<p>
Guardpoint mode is accomplished by adding 0.5 to the total index, rounding to the next lowest integer, wrapping it modulo the factor of two which is one less than the table length, writing the table (locations 0 to 3 in our example) and then writing to the guard point if index = 0.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> has no output value. The last three parameters are optional and have default values of 0.

</div>
<div class="refsect2" title="Caution with k-rate table numbers">
<a id="idp47977168"></a>
<h3>Caution with k-rate table numbers</h3>
<p>
At k-rate or a-rate, if a table number of < 1 is given, or the table number points to a non-existent table, or to one which has a length of 0 (it is to be loaded from a file later) then an error will result and the instrument will be deactivated. <span class="emphasis"><em>kfn</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>afn</em></span> must be initialized at the appropriate rate using <span class="emphasis"><em>init</em></span>. Attempting to load an i-rate value into <span class="emphasis"><em>kfn</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>afn</em></span> will result in an error.
</p>
</div>
<div class="warning" title="Warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">

<p>
Note that <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> is always a k-rate opcode. This means that even its i-rate version runs at k-rate and will write the value of the i-rate variable. For this reason, the following code will not work as expected:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<span class="csdtag"><CsoundSynthesizer></span>
<span class="csdtag"><CsOptions></span>
<span class="csdtag"></CsOptions></span>

<span class="stamnt">i</span> 1 0 1
<span class="csdtag"></CsScore></span>
<span class="csdtag"></CsoundSynthesizer></span></pre>
<p>
Although it may seem this program should print a 10 to the console. It will print 0, because <a class="link" href="tab.html" title="tab"><em class="citetitle">tab_i</em></a> will read the value at the initialization of the note, before the first performance pass, when <span class="emphasis"><em>tablew</em></span> writes its value.
