while [block~ 1] seems great, it is really quite consumptive (because 
most signal-objects will be optimized in their inner-loop (which is 
called only once per block-cycle with block~==1) and much non-optimized 
is transferred out of this loop (which is only called once per 
block-cycle -- with block~==1 this reads: once per sample !!)

while using zexy, a better approach would be

[inlet~]
|
[*~ 1000]
|
[pack~]
|
[l2i]
|
[unpack~]
|
[*~ 0.001]
|
[outlet~]

[l2i] truncates all floats of a list to integers
