Delay a bang Holds a bang for a specified amount of time before sending it to the next object. This object uses the Max time format syntax, so the delay time (which is normally specified in milliseconds) can also be set to other fixed or tempo-relative values. Cycling '74 Max Timing bang Gets Delayed, stop Cancels TEXT_HERE Set Delay Time in Milliseconds TEXT_HERE Delayed bang TEXT_HERE Initial delay time Sets an initial amount of time to delay a bang received in the left inlet. This time interval can be either a number which specifies time in milliseconds (e.g. delay 200) or a notevalue (e.g. delay 4nd).

Note: While the delay object lets you specify time in any of Max's standard time formats, the delaytime attribute argument should be used when specifying time in any other time unit besides milliseconds or notevalues (e.g. delay @delaytime 11025 samples).

If there is no argument, the initial time interval is 5 milliseconds. If notevalue, ticks, or bars.beats.units are specified for the delay interval, the object will not operate unless the transport is running. Delay, then output In left inlet: A bang is delayed a certain number of milliseconds before being sent out the outlet. Set delay time In right inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a bang received in the left inlet. A number received in the right inlet changes the delay time of the next bang received -- it does not modify the time of a bang currently being delayed. In left inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a bang received in the left inlet. It then automatically sends a bang message to itself to start the delay. Set delay time In right inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a bang received in the left inlet. A number received in the right inlet changes the delay time of the next bang received -- it does not modify the time of a bang currently being delayed. In left inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a bang received in the left inlet. It then automatically sends a bang message to itself to start the delay. Set time with ITM value In right inlet: A list may be used to specify time in one of the Max time formats. Set time with ITM value Same as list. Choose a clock source The word clock, followed by the name of an existing setclock object, sets the delay object to be controlled by that setclock object rather than by Max’s internal millisecond clock. The word clock by itself sets the delay object back to using Max’s regular millisecond clock. Stap any pending output In left inlet: Stops delay from outputting the bang it is currently delaying. Delay time. Sets the delay time for the object. Delay time can be specified in any of the time formats used in Max. Time boundary quantization Send output only on the specified time-boundary if appropriate. This is achieved by making internal adjustments to the times used for sending output. The quantization can be specified in the following time formats: bars.beats.units, ticks or note values.

If the applicable time is a 'fixed' unit (for example: ms, seconds, hz, samples, etc.) then this attribute will have no effect. bang received in the left inlet is delayed by the number of milliseconds specified by the right inlet, then is sent out the outlet. Only one bang at a time can be delayed by delay. If a bang is already in delay when a new bang is received in the left inlet, the first bang is forgotten.
