I'm a bit new to FFT in the pd context, but I think I grok Nyquist -- Sampling at S can, at best, yield the S/2 frequency (where S is the sampling rate). But how does this relate to block size in the DFT? Your original statement sounds like the max frequency out of the fft is (block size)/2...but that can't be right, eh?

The most rapid change you can have in a signal is an alternance of two values: e.g. +1, -1, +1, -1, +1, -1, ... which has S/2 frequency.
