I agree with this statement. Short delays are also useful for wind / pipe
synthesis, etc. A lot of the graph based synthesis software seem to allow this
(e.g. NI Reaktor), I wonder how the implementation is done... I think it would
even be fine to fall back to per-sample processing if the delay goes under the
block size. It's nicer to pay a performance price for features than to not have
them at all. In cases of delay node + gain node (i.e. finite response) feedback
loops you could usually even optimize it away into vector operations. This
would have the additional benefit of not exposing implementation details, i.e.
the block size.
