Output from a delay line The outlet of a tapin~ object must be connected to the left inlet of tapout~ in order for the delay line to function.

The tapout~ object has one or more inlets and one or more outlets. A delay time signal or number received in an inlet affects the output signal coming out of the outlet directly below the inlet. Cycling '74 MSP MSP Delays (signal/float) Delay Time in ms. Signal-based delay uses interpolation, which introduces a one-sample delay TEXT_HERE (signal/float) Delay Time in ms. Signal-based delay uses interpolation, which introduces a one-sample delay TEXT_HERE (signal) Delayed Output TEXT_HERE Initial delay time(s) One or more initial delay times in milliseconds, one for each delay "tap" inlet-outlet pair desired. For example, the arguments 50 100 300 would create a tapout~ object with three independent "taps" corresponding to three inlets and three outlets. If a signal is connected to an inlet, the initial delay time corresponding to that inlet-outlet pair is ignored. The minimum delay time that can be used is determined by the current signal vector size (Options->Audio Status). If the Signal Vector Size is set to 64, any delay less than 64 samples will be limited to a minimum of 64 samples. Set a fixed delay for the corresponding outlet If a signal is not connected to an inlet of tapout~, a fixed delay algorithm is used, and a float or int received in the inlet sets the delay time of the signal coming out of the corresponding outlet. This may cause clicks to appear in the output when the delay time is changed. However, fixed delay is suitable for many applications such as reverberation where delay times do not change dynamically, and it is computationally less expensive than the continuous delay algorithm. Set a fixed delay for the corresponding outlet If a signal is not connected to an inlet of tapout~, a fixed delay algorithm is used, and a float or int received in the inlet sets the delay time of the signal coming out of the corresponding outlet. This may cause clicks to appear in the output when the delay time is changed. However, fixed delay is suitable for many applications such as reverberation where delay times do not change dynamically, and it is computationally less expensive than the continuous delay algorithm. Simultaneously set multiple fixed delay times In left inlet: Allows several fixed delay times to be changed at the same time. The first number in the list sets the delay time for the first outlet, and so on. If any inlets corresponding to list values have signals connected to them, the values are skipped. Remotely connect a tapout~ object to an available tapin~ object The word tapconnect will connect a tapout~ object to an available tapin~ object remotely. Use a continuous delay algorithm for the corresponding outlet If a signal is connected to an inlet of tapout~, the signal coming out of the outlet below it will use a continuous delay algorithm. Incoming signal values represent the delay time in milliseconds. If the signal increases slowly enough, the pitch of the output will decrease, while, if the signal decreases slowly, the pitch of the output will increase. The continuous delay algorithm is more computationally expensive than the fixed delay algorithm that is used when a signal is not connected to a tapout~ inlet. Each outlet of tapout~ corresponds to an individually controlled "tap" of a delay line written by the tapin~ object. The output signal coming out of a tapout~ outlet is the input to tapin~ delayed by the number of milliseconds specified by the numerical or signal control received in the inlet directly above the outlet.
