index~
Description
Use index~ to read from a buffer~ object at a signal-driven sample index with no interpolation on the output.
Examples
Look up specific samples in the buffer~, using index~
Discussion
Since the index~ object does no interpolation, it is less useful for general sample playback tasks than play~, groove~ etc. However, it may be more accurate and efficient for special circumstances of using a buffer~ as data storage such as for FFT windowing. Unlike peek~, the buffer~ index to read is specified as a signal.
Arguments
buffer-name [symbol]
Buffer name
buffer-channel-to-index [int]
Optional
Buffer channel to read

Output
signal
The output consists of samples at the sample indices specified by the input. No interpolation is performed if the input sample index is not an integer.
