like: upsampling to an arbitrary rate, doing some weirdo processing and
downsampling again¹?

seriously: i don't think that your *new* question makes much sense. the
strong point of software like Pd is making things possible that no one
has thought that they would make "sense". that's why it is useful in the
arts. that's why it is useful in science.

¹ you wouldn't need to *actually* process your new samples at any fixed
rate; you would most likely re-block them and then batch-process them
each dsp-tick; so it's really an artificial and bad example.

so another attempt: just use it to generate signals in the ordinary
"fs/2 domain" (at least this is how i teach my students to generate
rectangle signals); now "fs/2" could be virtually any number, and .007ms
@ 192kHz is no longer "three times the sample rate".
