you shouldn't have to do this, you would only need to involve
samplerate~ if you were calculating the number of samples in the delay
line. but you don't need to, you just give it milliseconds and vd~ sorts
out the annoying stuff internally.

the 1000/freq function you found should work as it gives you the
wavelength (in msecs) of the given frequency.

of course i haven't looked at the patch, i'm just shooting first and
asking questions later ;)
