See also the "vline~" object (starting in Pd 0.37) shown in doc/3.audio/examples/C04.control.to.signal.pd ... this can give either sample or linearly-interpolated sub-sample accuracy. A description is in chapter 3 of my "book": http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques.htm

Hello, I am a pd newbie. I just read the manual with great interest. I worked much with reaktor so I am very interested in the differences between pd and reaktor. One difference is the time accuracy of the message processing. In reaktor messages (called events) have a time resolution of one sample instead of 64 in pd.
I read in the manual under 2.4.4: "You may wish to use block sizes smaller than 64 to gain finer resolutions of message/audio interaction, .. "
I tried that without success. I started from the the following audio example: "73.control.blocksize.pd". I added a metro object in the subpatch where the blocksize is reduced to one sample (block~ 1). The output of the metro is triggering an envelope with a short spike. Unlike the delaytime of the feedback delay in the example patch the time gap between two spikes cannot be set below 64 samples. I attached the file. I am using pd 0.36-0 under winxp. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Maybe there is an other solution to that.
thank you and regards,
