delay
Delays a signal by a certain amount of time (specified in samples)
Description
Delays a signal by a certain amount of time (specified in samples). The first argument specifies the maximum delay time (in samples, default samplerate). The second argument specifies the number of tap inlet/outlet pairs (default 1). The first inlet is the signal to be delayed. Additional inlets specify the delay time per tap (in samples). With @feedback 1, like history, delay allows feedback loops in the patcher, but minium delay is 1 sample. With @feedback 0, minimum delay time is zero samples (or more if @interp is cubic, spline, or spline6)

Attributes
feedback[bool]: 1
write-only
Specify whether the object can receive feedback signals (this applies to visual gen patching only). If set to 0, the delay object will not accept incoming feedback signals (unless there is another feedback delay or history object in the feedback path). With @feedback enabled, the minimum delay time is increased by 1 sample.
interp[enum]: linear
write-only
Specify the interpolation mode: "none" and "step" perform no interpolation, "linear" performs two-point linear interpolation, "cosine" performs two-point cosine interpolation, "cubic" performs four-point cubic interpolation, "spline" performs four-point Catmull-Rom spline interpolation, and "spline6" performs six-point (5th order) B-spline interpolation.
Possible values:
0 = 'none'
1 = 'spline6'
2 = 'step'
3 = 'cosine'
4 = 'cubic'
5 = 'fastcubic'
6 = 'linear'
7 = 'spline'
name[string]:
write-only
Specify the name of the delay line. This name is used in the generated code and for retaining delay data between edits.
Common Box Attributes
annotation[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background[int]: 0
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.
color[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname[symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize[float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hint[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick[int]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
You can override the default appearance of a user interface object by assigning a JavaScript file with code for painting the object. The file must be in the search path.
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation[int]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 0. 0.
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect[4 floats]
write-only
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification[int]
Sets the justification for the object's text.
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname[symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.
