Re: [PD] vd~ one-sample delay?

addressed only to the list not to me)


 Except the problem of time machines: When interpolating around
 a non-delayed
 signal, you are interpolating around the time now and so you
 would need
 at least one sample from the future, whhich hasn't happened yet.


D'oh!!! Of course, stupid me!!!
I was thinking about the one sample from the _past_ (which is nonsense) 
instead of the one from the _future_



Thanks

[PD] vd~ one-sample delay?

2010-04-26 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette

Hi,

I've realised that when using vd~, even if you ensure the execution
order so that you can have a delay of less than one block, any delay
less than one _sample_ will result to a delay of one sample.

Why so?

I guess it is related to the 4-point interpolation, because in order to 
compute the first point you need one extra point that is not available 
at delay 0. However, I don't see how that completely explains a 
one-sample delay: this only affects the very first sample of the delayed 
signal, there's no reason to have the whole signal delayed one sample.


With tabread4~ for example, when you feed a value 1 you get the value 
of sample 1 (i.e. the second sample) (which is not the correct behaviour 
either, imho, but anyway it only affects the first sample), but for any 
value =1 you get the interpolated value with no delay...


What am I missing?

thanks
m.

See the helpfile for block~ for example, or the example patch for 
Karplus Strong synthesis!

If you're talking about G04.control.blocksize.pd, I can't see in what it 
is relevant either. It is about shortening the minimum delay of a 
feedback delread-delwrite loop below one block by reblocking.


Here I'm talking about no feedback loop and no reblocking, just a 
delwrite-delread (with forced execution order so you have zero block 
delay) that has a minimum of one-sample delay apparently related to 
interpolation but that I cannot see why it should exist

This is not only valid for the first sample, as in a constantly updating
delay line there is no first sample.

Forgot to say: This is briefly described in Miller's book:
