woohoo! this is exactly the kind of thing I want to see. > In any case, here's my question: I have an effects instrument that > implements delay, but there is no way to change the delay time from > the control layer, since the delay instrument is only instantiated > once and the delay time parameter is an ivar. There's the problem - you really want the delay time to be changing while the instrument runs, so use a k or a variable. What's your control driver, and how does it feed values to sfront? > (More problematic is > that the delay time is set before the "0 tempo 120" command in the > SASL file, but that's another story.)

It would be like turning the delay off and turning it back on; there would be an audible interruption in the stream of echoes. -- -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
