Delay Controller

The 'delay controller can be created using the following Lisp syntax:

The 'delay controller takes three arguments:

• dimension: number of dimensions of the input and output controllers.
• delaytime: a controller (or numerical value) expressing the delay time in seconds.
• controller: controller to be delayed.

The number of dimensions should be the same as that of the input controller.

The delay time can be either a constant or dynamic controller, or else be given as a numerical value.

The following shows a very simple example of using the delay controller to delay a simple envelope by half a second (as shown in the graph, at the top of this page):

As you can see, this controller allows another controller to be delayed by a given (optionally dynamically variable) delay time. It does not alter that controller, but rather creates a new controller. This can be useful for many operations, such as delaying a force controller used for sympathetic resonance. The following example show precisely that, with a 1/4 second delay applied to the force controller:

There are no special options for this controller.
