I was writing up a quick demo of oversampling, and found to my surprise that [block~] seems to be ignoring messages. I've got a toggle going into the subpatch, [inlet] --> [* 7] --> [+ 1] --> "64 1 $1" --> [block~], and when I flip the toggle, there's no difference in the sound.
I even tried switching dsp off and on again, but no dice.
Are messages to [block~] supposed to work? Or, should they be sent only when dsp is already off?
Here's another version of the patch that switches DSP off, sends the block~ message, then switches back on. I don't hear it doing anything. OK, worst case I'll just have two oscillators and switch them at the output, but the block~ help patch documents that a message can be used and AFAICS it doesn't work.
TIA,
