I've never really found a satisfactory tape delay in Pd so here's a new thing inspired by vintage tape delay machines. Running on MobMuPlat tested on Android smartphone and iPad mini or, of course, desktop.

Time knob from 50-2800 milliseconds.
Feedback knob can be turned all the way to create a loop.
Drive adds a soft overdrive.
Dry/wet is a mix knob.
Smear moves two of the three playheads to non equal positions so that it creates irregularly spaced echoes and it is subtly different each time you turn it on.
Four presets are built into the top four buttons.

@whale-av @Jona Surprise surprise, you were both right. I waited a REALLY long time and the console did print up all the values but it struggled. I set it into a new array and it worked flawlessly - no need to print or see the list, so you have made my problem disappear!
Many thanks indeed,

I'm getting Pd to consistently crash when using [array get] to print contents of even a short - three seconds - audio file. It works fine for simple array information and any handdrawn data. But once I load a file and send it a bang the system crashes. I'm on Pd 0.50, OSX. Is this a known issue?

I'm looking to make (or modify an existing) a simple 3 band EQ - High Pass, Band Pass with adjustable freq and Q and Low Pass. I've trawled around looking at old posts.

Is there a problem with simply dividing an audio source into three and using [hip~], [vcf~], [lop~]? Will that cause complicated phase issues (that I only dimly understand)?

Does such a patch already exist? I'm a strictly vanilla user.

Thanking you all in advance for any tips.

@whale-av Thanks for your reply - four months later I'm finally getting around to this.

I'm thinking of an effect like the Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay pedal. I used fiddle to detect note onset (maybe threshold is cheaper CPU-wise though?).

This patch can get me some of the way to making a piano swell etc. If anyone has anything to add, I'm all ears!

Thanks,
Seán

You're welcome!
The iPad version looks like this:

A six-tap delay with independent control (per tap) of feedback, delay time, pitch, direction, and filter frequency. Loosely based on Rainmaker eurorack module by Intellijel, but I soon deviated to my own musical preferences. Enjoy!

I'm looking to live process a piano (for instance) and being able to change the attack time of each note. I'm not expecting to be able to do this without latency or delay. No idea where to start though, all the envelope shaping information I can find relates to synthesis and not real time mic input.

@Balwyn That's super, works perfectly (and looks real pretty too!). I appreciate the help, I would have spent years trying to work that out.

Thanks for that Balwyn,
Yes this works perfectly and I don't need to know which toggles were on only that they are all off. However in "real life" I need a version with nine toggles. So I expanded your example (perhaps incorrectly!) and it doesn't work consistently with nine.
Any idea why?
