Perhaps to the uninformed it would appear that way... so when is a "delay" not a delay? When it's used to create an allpass. The delays used in an allpass filter are typically very short, and measured in samples rather than mS... >I didn't hear increasing phase dispersion in the EH examples, >which would be the case if the sound was looping through an allpass, >but maybe I just didn't hear it. I'm not sure that you meant to write "phase dispersion"... Try to think about the topolgy in a different way. If the allpass network is located after the loop, it would diffuse the signal but not cause an increase in density with each repeat, as would be the case if the AP filter were inside the loop. This would also obscure the loop points if there were enough AP filters in series. > >>in fact most digital reverbs consist of a loop of allpass filters* >>set to various delay lengths with a variety of injection points and >>output taps. >> >>* An allpass filter is defined as a feedforward delay combined >>with a feedback delay, it is at the heart of every digital reverb >>and the result of increasing the coefficient is greater diffusion. -- ... http://www.zmix.net http://www.esession.com/ChuckZwicky http://albumcredits.com/zmix
