BufCombN buffer based comb delay line with no interpolation

BufCombNar(buf, in, delaytime, decaytime, mul, add)

BufCombN.kr(buf, in, delaytime, decaytime, mul, add)

Comb delay line with no interpolation which uses a buffer for its internal memory. See also [BufCombL] which uses linear interpolation, and [BufCombC] which uses cubic interpolation. Cubic interpolation is more computationally expensive than linear, but more accurate.

See also [CombN].

buf - buffer number.

in - the input signal.

delaytime - delay time in seconds.

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.

// 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.
