As I mentioned in a previous post: "idea: "riding the wave"delay length triggered by env~ size (link http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10557/idea-riding-the-wave-delay-length-triggered-by-env-size)", I had been wondering about controlling a delay line via the env~.

pushdelay~_sv-help.pd
pushdelay~_sv.pd

My idea had been to mimic the "power" of a wave (akin to what I have been suspecting we will do once we figure out how to harness the power of gravity waves): the larger the amplitude > the further the auditory "ripple" and the longer it lasts.

The abstraction below, pushdelay~, is my incarnation of that idea.

Ciao!

Much merriment thru you and yours.

-help (from the -help comments):

In this pushdelay~ abstraction the length of time on the delay line, as well as feedback, are driven by the amount of the env~, the larger the env~ the longer the delay time and more feedback there is.;
In "inter" (interval) mode, the abstraction takes the current delay time and sets a metro to that time;
opens a spigot and captures the maximum value for the env~ during that period then sets the next delay and metro times to that value.;
In "cont" mode, it sets the delay and feedback times continuously based on the envelope value.;
The relationship between the delay(x) and feedback(y) values can be set using the curve ctrl, either linear, convex (sinusoidal) or concave (also sinusoidal but inverted).;
Turning the abs either off|on starts the inital metro.;
If in "off" mode, the delay ctrl may be moved independently. However the feedback will still change the same way, mentioned above.

p.s. the original delay~ abs is from the DIY2 collection.

i like this. neat effect.

@svanya is there a place where we can find all your work in one place? It seems like you've made enough top quality patches that they should have their own git repo. People are less likely to find them if they have to go through these posts one by one.

off topic, but what's the best place to put a bunch of pd patches on these days?

@mod: glad you like it. Your comment had me thinking about another effect along similar lines: bending a line back (as Whale-Av and I have discussed) over its top (of itself) so if controlled via an x-y (say foot-) controller one reverses a line if it rises above a threshold. Still thinking...sort of of you feedback the line until it goes past 1 but after that you reverse the signal. :--) not sure how to do this, but am excited to investigate it.

@LiamG: that is the coolest most invigorating letter I have gotten in a very long time. And I am thrilled that my work might/could be of use to others. So thank you, for putting the bug in my ear: your next "Big Project" is: "Share your Work on Github". :--)

As to going about that: can you point me to a decent/recommended: sort of github for dummies type doc? I have bookmarked a few but would rather go straight for the jugular to better serve the destined end.

Have to wrap up another low-to-mid-grade project first, but have already begun assembling the abs (and patches) I have been collected to just this end,

Will most definitely share the work as soon as I get started in a reasonable fashion for folks to begin following.

Peace, Love, and Music thru us all,

Thanks, again. Both of you,
Scott

@svanya sorry for not replying sooner. Have you used git VCS before? If so, creating a github account and uploading your work there is easy and useful. Github is where most of the "official" PD libraries dwell, so I guess it's the preferred option. I hear that bitbucket is also good, but I haven't used it myself.

The downside to using these is that it's a bit daunting and confusing for newcomers users to get the hang of. It took me quite a while even to work out how to download files! If this is a concern, then google drive or even patchstorage.com should work find, but they don't come with such good updating and version control services.
