$Page Delay $TargetName Delay *Making a delay effect* A basic delay simply replays a copy of the incoming signal, but later. The tapin~ and tapout~ object pair lets you do just that. To make things more interesting, the delayed copy can be scaled, filtered and then sent back into the tapin~ object, creating repeating and dampened echoes. Delay.png -> The pingpong toggle results in the effect of the sound bouncing between the left and right channels. To achieve this, the delay time is doubled and the right channel input is delayed with half that time before entering the feedback loop. -> Filtering the delayed signal before feeding it back into the delay line is just one thing you can do. Almost any operation applied to the signal before feeding it back will result in interesting effects. Notice how [atan~] is used here to soft-clip the signal when it gets too loud.
