DelayciFract32

Overview

Cubic interpolated time delay Fractional version

Discussion

An interpolated Fractional delay module, where the delay is specified as a fractional number of samples. The delay is implemented such that delays as short as 0 samples can be realized. 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, 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. In addition, you specify the instantaneous delay through the interface variable .currentDelay.
currentDelay is in the range [0 maxDelay] and can be changed at run-time. currentDelay can be specified as a fractional delay value. 4nd order cubic interpolation is used.
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: delayci_fract32_module.m 
 M=delayci_fract32_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.
