Hello folks. New user here... Was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what's wrong with this echo delay? It's a very simple patch but I can't figure out why it isn't working.

It works if you remove the cord that I've labelled, but the essence of an echo delay filter is that the output of the delay is fed back into itself, so that's an essential component! But when it is connected, the output mutes!

What is going on here? Is Max detecting some kind of feedback loop and automatically cutting out? If so, how can I avoid this? Thanks for your help. Patch below.

not sure, but I think delay~ was not designed to accept a feedback loop (check the title of delay~ help).

You may use a pair of tapin~ and tapout~ instead.

you can use feedback with delay~ by using send~ and receive~, but this is more for filter design than for long delays.
