How would I preload a delay line, in order to excite a waveguid?? Currently I am exciting the waveguide with a shaped noise burst. Ideally, I would be able to fill the delay line with information who's lengthe is determined by the desired pitch, with the position of the delay output also determined by that pitch... (Hope that makes sense..)

Thanks, mcg

Have a look at [dynwave~], that's the thing to use for scanned synthesis. It has two inlets, both audio rate signals so you can fill the block buffer and set the phase quite independently.

You can use [tabread~] and [tabwrite~] to make your own delays that can be pre-written, you will always have a minimum of one sample delay in your feedback, but as far as I know you cant interchange [delread~] and [tabread~] objects, which rather sucks because there is no good reason not to have their methods view, set and get transparrently. The only advantage of them possibly being anonymous isn't implemented. I consider this a Pd bug/bad implementation (although there is an anonymous [delay~] object now. Otherwise there's no good reason to treat delay tables different from any other table.

Thanks!! I will have to study this for a little while, (I am new to PD) I will post a follwup when I get the chance to test it out..

Thanks You!!
