I have found this to be the case as well. It seems most (maybe all, not 
sure) signal-to-message objects have a minimum hard limit of 64 samples. 
[bang~], [edge~], and [threshold~] I've noticed for sure are like this. 
I don't know about [vline~] since I use it to avoid having to change the 
block size. :-)

[metro~] is sample accurate, but it has a minimum of 1 ms. If you need 
to go faster than that, make a [metro] by having a [delay] retrigger itself.
