I have \"Rotate buffer\" and Purge Buffer\" turned on. I have \"Remember\" turned off. I have InitialValue=0 Initially when I clock Buffer a few times and get 0 out as expected. Then a sample arrives into the buffer. I clock Buffer again, and the sample comes out as expected. Then I clock it one more time, and instead of getting a 0 out, the stale sample comes out a second time. Shouldn't \"Rotate Buffer\" and \"Purge Buffer\" dictate that once the sample leaves, it's gone and we revert to InitialValue? Could you please explain what these two tickboxes do and how they should normally be used? They don't seem to wash the already-output (now stale) sample out of it's mouth. Also, nothing seems to come out of the Available output after the input sample arrives. What is this output for please? thanks much
