> The "osc~" object, for instance, will update the frequency at every audio block. You're just talking about sending a float from a control object to "osc~", right? To be clear: If "osc~" is receiving a float atom from a control object (thin line), then yes, it will implicitly convert that float to an input vector on block boundaries. If "osc~" is receiving signal data from a DSP object (thick line), every sample of the input is used to calculate every sample of the output. If "osc~" is receiving signal data from "vline~", the user can supple subsample accurate frequency changes to "osc~" bound by the precision of float precision, at the expense of performance.
