Hi, so, I'm working on my variant of delread/write with more features like "freezing", for reference => https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2021-03/129181.html
So, here's another question, thought I'd open a new thread. I'm now at the point of setting the delay name to delread-like object, the problem is that I need to force a dsp call, which can be done by creating a new object or something like that before the new delay name takes effect.
This is because the delay line to read is passed via the dsp_add function in "sigdelread_dsp" or "sigvd_dsp", for example see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/src/d_delay.c#L330
someone once asked about this on the list and the answer was to find an alternative solution that didn't need to force the call, see https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2020-11/128514.html - so I don't know if this is possible, or dangerous or something. I wouldn't know of a possible alternative as well.
I don't know if other people out there would love the idea of being able to set a new delay name to [delread~]/[delread4~]. If so, we can also make that request, but then the problem would be the same.
thanks
