Input to a delay line tapin~ receives a signal in and copies into a delay line. Using tapout~ objects, you can read from the delay line at various delay times. You must connect the outlet of a tapin~ object to the tapout~ objects you want to use with the delay line. Note that this is not a signal connection, since no signal travels between the objects. It is merely a way to indicate that the objects share the same delay memory. Cycling '74 MSP MSP Delays (signal) Input Written To Delay Line TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Connect To One Or More tapout~ Objects TEXT_HERE Maximum delay time The maximum delay time in milliseconds. This determines the size of the delay line memory. If the sampling rate is increased after the object has been created, tapin~ will attempt to resize the delay line. If no argument is present, the default maximum delay time is 100 milliseconds. In left inlet: An int Resize and clear the delay line memory In left inlet: An int resizes the delay line memory with the new maximum delay time specified in milliseconds (this clears the memory of the delay line, which may produce a click in the output). Resize and clear the delay line memory In left inlet: A float resizes the delay line memory with the new maximum delay time specified in milliseconds (this clears the memory of the delay line, which may produce a click in the output). Clear the delay line Clears the memory of the delay line (which may produce a click in the output). Freeze the buffer memory The word freeze followed by a non-zero number will cause tapin~ to freeze its buffer memory. This means the object will keep echoing out of its output what has already been recorded into its memory at the point of freezing and no further input will be recorded. The word freeze followed by a 0 will reset the object to its default state of constantly recording and rerecording any given input into its memory buffer and outputting it after the specified delay time. Write signal into a delay line The signal is written into a delay line that can be read by the tapout~ object. In order for the delay line to function, the outlet of tapin~ must be connected to the left inlet of tapout~. It cannot be connected to any other object.
