snapshot~ is to vsnapshot~ what line~ is to vline~. Did you read the chapter of Miller's book which he linked to here?

snapshot~ will always output the last sample from an audio block of 64
This sounded strange at first to me, but it makes sense if you consider that snapshot~'s role is to give you one audio sample from the audio stream. Since you will only receive messages in between audio blocks the last sample in a vector is the one that is closest (in timing) to the point at which you receive the value in the gui.
For snapshot, I know I ran proper tests as I was comparing it to vsnapshot~, meaning that it wasn't constricted to the bang gui behaviour. So sending bangs at every sample did only spit out 64 equal values of the last sample in the block - whereas [vsnapshot~] can give a value for each sample. cheers

print~ will always start printing from the beginning of a 64 block period
The same here. Perhaps it helps to see print~ as the object that gives you one audio block as numbers rather than an 'audio rate print' that does things faster than message timing.
I also meant that it can't help but start from a 64 block boundary, even if the block is less, such as "1", but I think that this is because the bang button is always aligned to a 64 block tick, as I pointed out later, so I may have to run other tests to see how [print~] actually behaves with different size blocks. cheers 2015-03-14 6:21 GMT-03:00 Peter P. peterparker@fastmail.com:

It seems there are other objects that somehow restrict themselves to a 64 size block minimum.
