class:: BufCombN
summary:: Buffer based comb delay line with no interpolation.
related:: Classes/BufCombC, Classes/BufCombL, Classes/CombN
categories:: UGens>Delays>Buffer
Description::
Comb delay line with no interpolation which uses a buffer for its
internal memory. See also link::Classes/BufCombL:: which uses linear
interpolation, and link::Classes/BufCombC:: which uses cubic
interpolation. Cubic interpolation is more computationally
expensive than linear, but more accurate.
classmethods::
method::ar
argument::buf
Buffer number.
argument::in
The input signal.
argument::delaytime
Delay time in seconds.
argument::decaytime
Time for the echoes to decay by 60 decibels. If this time is negative then the feedback coefficient will be negative, thus emphasizing only odd harmonics at an octave lower.
argument::mul
argument::add
discussion::
Warning:: For reasons of efficiency, the effective buffer size is limited to the previous power of two. So, if 44100 samples are allocated, the maximum delay would be 32768 samples.
::
Examples::
code::
// These examples compare the variants, so that you can hear the difference in interpolation
// allocate buffer
b = Buffer.alloc(s,44100,1);
// Comb used as a resonator. The resonant fundamental is equal to
// reciprocal of the delay time.
