Overview

Interpolated time allpass delay

Discussion

An allpass interpolated delay module where the delay time is taken from the first input pin. The second input pin is the audio to process. The module supports fractional delay times and uses linear interpolation between sample values. Delay times as small as 0 samples can be realized. The first input pin contains a single channel of data. The second input pin (audio) can be multichannel with the same processing applied to all channels. The delay line is incorporated into a first order allpass topology (transposed Direct Form II), with the feedback gain determined by the coef value, and the feedforward gain determined by -coef.

At construction time, you specify the maximum delay (maxDelay) of the module. maxDelay determines the size of the internal state buffer. To be precise, the size of the internal state buffer equals (maxDelay+1)*numChannels.

The delay time is determined by the value on the first input pin times the .modDepth parameter. In normal use, the delay input variable is in the range [0 1] while .modDepth is set to maxDelay. The delay time is updated every samples.

See AllpassDelayci for similar functionality but with cubic interpolation.
