[PD] howto gain finer resolutions of message/audio interaction?

[pix]

you can also get sample-accurate triggering with the objects in the t3
library which is part of iemlib (the part that didn't get rolled into pd).
this is preferably to changing the block size which will make pd very
inefficient.
