## event_i

event_i — Generates a score event from an instrument.

## Description

Generates a score event from an instrument.

## Syntax

    event_i "scorechar", iinsnum, idelay, idur, [, ip4] [, ip5] [, ...]

    event_i "scorechar", "insname", idelay, idur, [, ip4] [, ip5] [, ...]

## Initialization

“scorechar” -- A string (in double-quotes) representing the first p-field in a score statement. This is usually “e”, “f”, or “i”.

“insname” -- A string (in double-quotes) representing a named instrument.

iinsnum -- The instrument to use for the event. This corresponds to the first p-field, p1, in a score statement.

idelay -- When (in seconds) the event will occur from the current performance time. This corresponds to the second p-field, p2, in a score statement.

idur -- How long (in seconds) the event will happen. This corresponds to the third p-field, p3, in a score statement.

ip4, ip5, ... (optional) -- Parameters representing additional p-field in a score statement. It starts with the fourth p-field, p4.

## Performance

The event is added to the queue at initialisation time.

| Note
Note that the event_i opcode can't accept string p-fields. If you need to pass strings when instantiating an instrument, use the scoreline or scoreline_i opcode.
