...well... does anyone know if there is a way to clear the delay-buffer (like it's possible with an array), or an other external delay-object that can't do that?!?
..or do i really have to build my own?

i asked about this years ago, and i think the answer was no.

but really, a cleared delay buffer is just going to output zeroes, so after your delread~ if you just use a [*~] to turn the output off, isn't that going to be the same?

Take a look at this looper katjav posted. It uses [poke~] and a table as a diy delay line, so you can use the [const 0( message to clear it.

Yeah, I'm a little sorry. It came to my mind to search (and find) this just after posting..
..and the [poke~] was just the object I was looking for to builb my own delays..

Using a [*~] only works if you got time... ..since one cannot clear the delay-buffer instantaneously but has to wait until the whole thing is rewritten.

Wait, what?! How the f•ç# did I never know about [poke~] ??
