3     \brief STK non-interpolating delay line class.
4 
5     This protected Filter subclass implements
6     a non-interpolating digital delay-line.
7     A fixed maximum length of 4095 and a delay
8     of zero is set using the default constructor.
9     Alternatively, the delay and maximum length
10     can be set during instantiation with an
11     overloaded constructor.
12 
13     A non-interpolating delay line is typically
14     used in fixed delay-length applications, such
15     as for reverberation.
