## ins

ins — Reads stereo audio data from an external device or stream.

## Description

Reads stereo audio data from an external device or stream.

| Warning
This opcode is designed to be used only with orchestras that have nchnls_i=2. Doing so with orchestras with nchnls_i > 2 will cause incorrect audio input.

## Syntax

    ar1, ar2 ins

## Performance

Reads stereo audio data from an external device or stream. If the command-line -i flag is set, sound is read continuously from the audio input stream (e.g. stdin or a soundfile) into an internal buffer. Any number of these opcodes can read freely from this buffer.

## Examples

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

Example 459. Example of the ins opcode.
