(8.D.2.6) Delayci

Overview

Modulated time delay using cubic interpolation

Discussion

THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED AND NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS.

PLEASE USE THE (8.D.2.6) 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.

MATLAB Usage

File Name: delayci_module.m

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.
