#X text 12 42 The [delay] object sends a bang to its outlet after a
delay in milliseconds specified by its right inlet or its creation
argument.;
#X text 15 157 [delay]'s left inlet accepts a number \, or one of two
messages: "bang" or "stop".;
#X text 14 238 The "bang" method will inform [delay] to send a "bang"
to its outlet after the prescribed time (which is set either at its
right inlet \, or in the creation argument). In the above example \,
you should notice a delay of 2 seconds \, then a "bang" at the outlet.
;
#X text 13 314 [delay] accepts only ONE "bang" at a time. It cannot
process multiple delays. In other words \, sending a "bang" to a [delay]
which is already set will reschedule its output \, cancelling the old
one.;
#X text 15 379 The "stop" method will inform [delay] to cancel its
scheduled output.;
#X text 14 191 If a number is sent to its inlet \, [delay] will set
the delay time equal to that number and schedule the outgoing "bang".

#X text 433 35 Let's assume for a moment that Miller had forgotten
to build the [metro] object. (I know that sounds absurd \, but for
the sake of example...);
#X text 433 84 [delay] could be used to create a metronome as follows.

#X text 448 206 A RANDOM IMPULSE GENERATOR;
#X text 433 223 Some users might be familiar with SC (SuperCollider)
by James McCartney. For more info about SC \, visit www.audiosynth.com.
Anyways...SC has a unit generator called "DUST". Dust will produce
random impulses at a specified "density". I believe that Dust was given
its name because it creates a sound that is similar to actual dust
on old vinyl LP's -- you know that old crackling sound like Rice Krispies.
;
#X text 432 331 The idea is quite simple. If you want a "very dusty"
sound \, you make the density quite high...if you want a "slightly
dusty" sound \, you make the density quite low.;

#X text 432 376 Dust.ar(2) in SC will produce 2 dusty impulses randomly
per second. In the example below \, you'll see a version of this process
created using Pd's delay object.;
#X obj 434 463 random 500;
#X obj 434 442 metro 500;
#X text 13 563 It is important to realize that [delay] only outputs
a "bang". It cannot be used like an "echo" or to delay messages other
than "bang". For that purpose \, you should explore;

#X text 18 59 These objects are offered in Pd only if you have downloaded
and properly installed the appropriate library. These objects may or
may not exist in a single library.;
#X text 17 108 The best places to find information about Pd's libraries
is:;
#X text 14 130 www.puredata.org and click on "Downloads" then "Software"

#X text 546 448 Also note that this example merely approximates the
output of SC's "Dust" object.;
