Overview

Module with different time delay for each channel specified in samples

Discussion

This time delay module has multiple input and multiple output channels. The delay in samples of each output channel can be independently set by the currentDelay array. The initial number of channels is specified at construction time and this also equals the length of the currentDelay array. Actual size of the currentDelay is updated in the prebuild function. Delays are specified in samples and are in the range of [0 MAXDELAY].

At construction time, you specify the maximum delay (maxDelay) of the module. The variable, maxDelay determines the size of the internal state buffer. The size of the internal state buffer equals (maxDelay+1)*numChannels samples. The delay in samples per channel is specified by the currentDelay array. Delays can be adjusted at run-time. The module applies smooth cross fading when adjusting the currentDelay at run-time.
