[PD] Audio-Rate GOP possible?

[Roman Haefeli]

hi joão

you could change [env~] to [env~ 8192], so that it only outputs a number 
every 8192 samples, so the vu-meter does not get updated that often.
actually there are three different rates in pd, sampling-rate (audio), 
control rate (normally sr/64) and then the gui update rate. with a normal 
[env~], the vu-meter is updated every 1.5ms. althoug the refresh rate of the 
screen is much lower, it seems, that calculation of updating is done on 
every message (at least on windows).
