This algorithm is a voltage controlled delay line, with a maximum delay time of just over 200ms.
As well as simple echoes, this can produce a wide variety of effects such as vibrato, chorus and
flange.
A control signal of 0-8V on the Y input sets the delay time, with a linear voltage/time relationship.
Parameter 0 can be used to set this to a 'centre' value, which makes it easier to patch in an LFO to
the Y input without having to add a DC offset to the LFO.
Parameter 1 is an attenuverter for Y, applied before the offset.
Z is a feedback control. It is zero at 0V input, and provides negative feedback for negative voltages.
A outputs the delay signal only. Use this for vibrato effects, or if you want a controllable mix of dry
and delayed signal.
B outputs the delay and dry signals mixed in equal amounts. In combination with an LFO on the
delay time, this is the quickest route to chorus/flange type effects.
Parameter 2 enables a saturation stage on the input to the delay line. This can prevent unpleasant
distortion when the feedback becomes high, at the expense of some colouration of the sound.

This algorithm is a stereo ping-pong delay/echo effect, primarily intended for processing audio
signals, where the delay time is set from a clock pulse. It operates at a quarter of the standard
sample rate (i.e. at about 19kHz) and offers a maximum delay time of about 900ms.
