Thanks, <div><br></div><div>I guess here is my question put better: </div><div><br></div><div>If i make a line and a vline object, and feed them both a [1, 0 50(  message, they perform differently.  The line object jumps around, presumably cos it is tied to block boundaries.  </div><div>But the vline always triggers exactly the same.  </div><div><br></div><div>It&#39;s as if somehow the vline~ works outside of the block structure.  Does it actually do that?  Say you&#39;re at sample 47 of a 64 sample block, does vline jump the queue and trigger right then?  </div><div><br></div><div>Or i guess, even more succinctly, i was assuming that everything in pd got triggered in blocks.  Is that the case?  Does vline also have to wait for a block boundary when first triggered? </div><div>  </div><div>Sorry, there&#39;s obviously some &#39;aha&#39; moment i&#39;m failing to have here.  </div>
