/*
 * \brief Basic multi-tap Delay Line Implementation with arbitrary tap number and maximum delay buffer length.
 *  Feedback can either be taken from the main tap or external via the use of set and get feedback loop methods.
 *  Mix of wet and dry signals can be set by using wet/dry mix or independent gains for each signal path.
 *  Process method works sample by sample.
