after the delread~. So we set the blocksize to 1 to minimize the resulting

#X text 77 60 The smaller the blocksize the more expensive the computations
are \, so don't reduce it lower than you have to. Also \, it's a good
idea to isolate the portion of the patch that requires the smaller
block size \, and only run that portion that way. Here \, the pulses
that excite the delay line are computed outside this window \, and
the output level control as well.;

#X text 86 9 CONTROLLING DELAY WITH BLOCK~;
#X text 299 420 <-- here is the delay loop;
#X text 63 43 In situations where a delay read feeds back to a delay
write \, the minimum possible delay you can achieve is one block \,
which by default is 64 samples \, or 1.45 msec at 44100 Hz. You can
shorten the minimum delay by changing the block size. Do this in a
subpatch (open it to see how).;

#X text 61 124 Here we use this principle to make a harpisichord-like
sound by sending pulses into a recirculating delay line (which imitates
the travel of the wave up and down the harpsichord string.) This is
related to Karplus-Strong synthesis \, but the idea is probably much
older than their paper.;
