hmm, but why don't you use [vline~] (probably a 2nd instance with 
different messages) to control the [phasor~]?
if you need sample accurate synching, then signals are usually the way 
to go.
[vline~] is special, as it allows to use messages with higher 
granularity then the dsp-tick, but it is special and most other objects 
are not.

i always thought it a pity that the difference between messages and 
signals has become so blurred with the advent of ~-objects accepting 
numbers "as signals" -- just try to send a number to the freq-input of 
[phasor¨] in pd-0.25 .....
