Overview
Time delay in which the delay is specified in milliseconds
Discussion
A delay module, where the delay is specified in milliseconds. The module has one multichannel input and one multichannel output. The module can operate on multiple channels and applies the same delay to each channel.
At construction time, specify the maximum delay time (maxDelayTime) of the module. The variable, maxDelayTime determines the size of the internal state buffer. The size of the internal state buffer equals (maxDelay+1)*numChannels. In addition, the instantaneous delay is specified through the interface variable, currentDelay. currentDelay is in the range of [0 maxDelayTime] and can be changed at run-time. The actual delay applied is in integer sample ammounts and so depends on the sample rate. delay = floor( currentDelay * SR ) / SR Note that the module is not smoothly updating and you may get audible clicks when adjusting the currentDelay at run-time.

MATLAB Usage
File Name: delaymsec_module.m
SYS=delaymsec_module(NAME, MAXDELAY, MEMHEAP)
Creates a delay module in which the delay times are specified in
milliseconds.
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
MAXDELAY - maximum delay of the module, in milliseconds.
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.
Internally, this uses a the sample-based delay and builds an inteface
on top of it.
