[PD] So [bang~] can't "bang" in less than 64 blocksize, huh?

> snapshot~ will always output the last sample from an audio block of 64




*This sounded strange at first to me, but it makes sense if you
considerthat snapshot~'s role is to give you one audio sample from the
audiostream. Since you will only receive messages in between audio blocks
thelast sample in a vector is the one that is closest (in timing) to
thepoint at which you receive the value in the gui.*


For snapshot, I know I ran proper tests as I was comparing it to
vsnapshot~, meaning that it wasn't constricted to the bang gui behaviour.
So sending bangs at every sample did only spit out 64 equal values of the
last sample in the block - whereas [vsnapshot~] can give a value for each
sample.

cheers
