It seems there are other objects that somehow restrict themselves to a 64 size block minimum. print~ will always start printing from the beginning of a 64 block period snapshot~ will always output the last sample from an audio block of 64 there must be other examples... cheers 2015-03-14 2:02

The upper number box is then multiplied by 10^-5 so it should be .00756ms. Yes I don't have actual sound here so it could be the display that's aliasing. I'm using pd 0.46-5 on WinXP. I'll try again when I get home. Martin On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 4:03 PM, IOhannes m zmölnig wrote: > On 03/13/20

You're measuring many things at once:1) lower limit of [metro] granularity, which is much higher than other clock-based objects in Pd like [del] and [pipe]2) common way in which control messages are converted to signals on the block boundaries (the other way is how vline~ and vsnapshot~ do it)3)
