How does one delay samples (input) in samples (unit) these days?

@ricky Probably [delwrite~] and [delread~] ....... ([vd~]) or [delread4~] with interpolation.
If you mean in Vanilla.

@Maelstorm's patches have disappeared though. Maybe they can be found......?
But they were probably this........ Look in Pd/doc/3.audio.examples/G05.execution.order...... for a single sample delay without using [block].
Otherwise [block~ 1]

Yeah, I basically want to delay an audio signal by n samples.

I sometimes use fexpr~ for very short audio delays, here's a demonstration patch:

Not sure how expensive this is. The negative number in the square brackets is the number of samples to delay by. Just to see what would happen, I tried 64 and 65 and it appeared to work (at least when snapshot~ was looking) but I got an error message in the console:

expr: input vector index <  -VectorSize, (vector x1[-65.000000])
$x1
-
65 


fexpr~: index assumed to be = -64
fexpr~: no error report till next reset
