[PD] maximum "control rate" in Pd

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

ok, so the metro at 1ms is because I'm using extended.

as for the minimum time pd can process and send data, what's the final word
on it?

something like 1.4013e-45 ms?

cause that's a lot more than an audio rate at 44.1khz :)

I thought there was a limit control rate that was below the audio rate, but
curiously it can go over.

1 sample at 44.1khz gives us 0.0226757 ms, and I was able to send bangs
at 1e-06 ms, according to [timer]

check my patch attached, based on the one that was sent here on the thread.

thanks
