vdelay (Csound opcode)

asig_delayed vdelay asig, adelay_ms, imax_delay_ms [, iskip]

vdelay delays asig for adelay_ms. If adelay_ms is greater than imax_delay_ms, adelay_ms is folded around imax_delay_ms.

The name delay might be a bit missleading. The signal is not delayed but the original signal's value that was in effect before adelay is output. After 0.5 seconds, adelay has the value 500, so, asig_delayed gets the value that asig had before 500 ms (which is asig's value at 0 ms). After 0.75 seconds, adelay has the value 250, so asig_delayed gets the value that asig_delayed had before 250 ms (which is 500 ms = 750ms - 250ms), which is 1.
