I had the same issue recently and ended up doing

	kchord[] init isize
	icnt init 0
	while icnt < isize do
		kchord[icnt] init iinp[icnt]
		icnt += 1
	od 

Which could elegantly be replaced by kchord[] init iinp but didn't work in this particular case, when you want to copy an i-rate array to k-rate array just at the init pass.

kArr[] init iArr

will only work if iArr is a scalar variable (not an array). Otherwise it is a syntax error.
The meaning of 'init' to arrays is different to scalar variables. It means "create an array with a given size". If you want to create and initialise it, use fillarray

Aside from that, note that k-rate assignment only takes place at perf time.

k.. init ... is a init time expression
k.. = ... is a perf-time expression

So for example,

k1 init 10
print i(k1) // prints 10

k1 = 10
print i(k1) // prints 0 (if the instrument is a new allocation)

I am closing this because there's no issue reported. Please subscribe to the email list or join a forum to ask questions like this.

haha cool entry there! i was thinking either init or fillarray
