hi with send~/receive~ the delay of one signalblock only appears if you have recursive loops, where the receive~ object is in the line of dsp-computing at an earlier point as the send~ object otherwise the signal is received without delay. (as far as i remember the pd-manual) marius.
I don't know too much about the internals of pd, but as i heard, in Max
the
advantage of the in~/out~- over to the send~/receive~-approach is, that it doesn't introduce the 1 signal vector delay then. I guess this delay also occurs in pd, so, in this sense, i would rather back the
in~/out~-approach.
greetings, Thomas
