## vdelay3

vdelay3 — A variable time delay with cubic interpolation.

## Description

vdelay3 is experimental. It is the same as vdelay except that it uses cubic interpolation. (New in Version 3.50.)

## Syntax

    ares vdelay3 asig, adel, imaxdel [, iskip]

## Initialization

imaxdel -- Maximum value of delay in milliseconds. If adel gains a value greater than imaxdel it is folded around imaxdel. This should not happen.

iskip (optional) -- Skip initialization if present and non-zero.

## Performance

With this unit generator it is possible to do Doppler effects or chorusing and flanging.

asig -- Input signal.

adel -- Current value of delay in milliseconds. Note that linear functions have no pitch change effects. Fast changing values of adel will cause discontinuities in the waveform resulting noise.

## Examples

Here is an example of the vdelay3 opcode. It uses the file vdelay3.csd.

Two important points here. First, the delay time must be always positive. And second, even though the delay time can be controlled in k-rate, it is not advised to do so, since sudden time changes will create clicks.
