Feedback Delay V2

Overview

Recursive system implementing a feedback delay module (pre- or post)

Discussion

This module implements a fractonal sample time-varying delay, with feedback gain control. 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 and is computed as:

delay[n] = currentDelay + mod[n] * 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 linear or cubic (third order) interpolation.

Output can be tapped prior to delay line input (prePost = 0) or after delay line output (prePost = 1).

Matlab Usage

File Name: feedback_delay_v2_module.m 
 M = feedback_delay_v2_module(NAME, MAXDELAY, INTERP_TYPE, MEMHEAP) 
 Creates a fractional sample time delay with feedback gain for use in the  
 Audio Weaver. 
 Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    MAXDELAY - Maximum delay, in samples. 
    INTERP_TYPE - Interpolation type. Linear or Cubic. 
    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.
