[PD] Research delay

[João Pais]

Hi,

the idea sounds simple to do. What kind of feedback from the list are you  
asking exactly?

I guess that besides programming the patch, on a real world situation you  
must be careful with the feedback of the speakers, so that the feedback  
doesn't end up triggering the feedback itself. Maybe a clamp microphone  
attached to the instrument (which kind of saxophone?) would be the better  
choice. Although if the hall is big enough, a normal mic should also work.
