(8.D.2.1) Delayci
- Catherine Spain
Overview
Modulated time delay using cubic interpolation
Discussion
THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED AND NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS.
PLEASE USE THE (8.D.2.1) AllpassDelayci MODULE INSTEAD.
This module implements a time-varying delay. The first input pin (mod) specifies the modulation factor; the second input pin is the multichannel audio signal. The module computes the instantaneous delay to apply on a sample-by-sample basis. The instantaneous delay is a floating-point value computed as:
delay[n] = M.currentDelay + mod[n] * M.modDepth
The modulation factor input is usually in the range [-1 +1], but this is not checked by the module.
The instantaneous delay time is a floating-point value and the module implements fractional sample interpolation using cubic (third order) interpolation. A related module is delayi which implements the same function but uses linear interpolation.

M=delayci_module(NAME, MAXDELAY, MEMHEAP)
Creates a fractional sample time delay for use in the Audio Weaver. Arguments:
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
MAXDELAY - Maximum delay, in samples.
MEMHEAP - specifies the memory heap to use to allocate the main
state buffer. This is a string and follows the memory
allocation enumeration in Framework.h. Allowable values
are:
'AWE_HEAP_FAST' - always use internal DM memory.
'AWE_HEAP_FASTB' - always use internal PM memory.
'AWE_HEAP_SLOW' - always use external memory.
'AWE_HEAP_FAST2SLOW' - use internal memory. If this fails
then use external memory (the default).
'AWE_HEAP_FASTB2SLOW' - use internal memory. If this fails
then use external memory.Â
