Well, you've hit on a major weakness of Pd's scheduler. The block size can go all the way down to 1 (check it out using print~ for example)... BUT ... control computations only occur at intervals of 64 samples. So bang~, which sets a delay so as to schedule a (message/control time) bang, might schedule it 64 times in a 64-sample period, but at the end of the show, only one of the 64 comes out.
I wish I knew a better way to interleave control and DSP scheduling, but so far, the best I can come up with is to have the grain at which control passes back and forth be a global quantity. In Pd it's arbitrarily set to 64...

Hi,
Can we go below a blocksize of 64 ?
I have been trying with pd0.34-4 and 0.34-2-updown without success.
Basiclly i count the number of bang from a bang~ object during 1 second and still get 750, which is well 48000/64, but even with blocksize of 32 and less.
Any hints ?
