It doesn't have to be. You can certainly change the delay line
during runtime, just like in [receive~], [throw~], [tabsend~],
[tabreceive~], etc.
I thought so, but let me just get something straight, is it possible to force a global dsp call or not? Should it always be avoided at all costs?
Cause I'm now facing another issue, I have a [del~ in] object spitting a unique delay name, and when I connect it via a control cord to a [del~ out] object I want it to spit out the delay name symbol. I made it spit it out when there's a new dsp call, but.... control connections do not force a new dsp call, so I dunno.
I ask because I'm still thinking about strategies involving dsp calls and it'd be good to get a final word if that's a "PLEASE DON'T DO THAT" :)
Thanks, and I'll look into the way [receive~] and the like work to try and incorporate it in my external, I can also try a PR if you don't beat me to it in a quite probable better way.
