Hallo, Charles Henry hat gesagt: // Charles Henry wrote:
[metro 1] creates a bang each millisecond, approximately. The message rate is constrained by the block size, so you would want to put [metro 1] inside of a subpatch with [block~ 1] for best time resolution.
That's not true. Message rate is not related to the dsp vector size.
You can't get your messages to resolve at *exactly* each millisecond in pd, no matter how you do it-but [metro 1] gives you 1-ms bangs with an error of at most 1/44.1 ms, using [block~ 1] and sampling freq 44.1 kHz
--I guess if you use a sample rate that is a multiple of 1,000 you can get exactly milliseconds between bangs.
Of course every action in an digital audio system has to happen on a sample, but Pd's clock-delayed messages calculate time as a continuum (in float-resolution), not quantized to samples, so they are able to calculate times in between samples. And again: You don't need any [block~ 1] to get that accuracy in metro. Try it yourself with a phasor~-clone build from metro and vline~!
