Yeah, of course. Block size 1 and high sampling rate will make the timing between control and audio super tight (ChucK does this, for example).
You don't need to reduce the block size to get precise timing. [metro], [delay], [timer], [vline~], [vsnapshot~ ] and probably others work as precise as it can get without adjusting the block size. However, there are many tilde object classes that accept messages and many of those classes evaluate the incoming message only at block boundaries. For instance, you cannot use the precise timing from [metro] to trigger [tabwrite~ ] precisely, since [tabwrite~ ] will only ever start graphing at a block boundary.
