[maxmsp] Re: Sampling rate for physical controllers

I understand that rhythmic events require much higher sample rates, but I'm thinking of an automation-type application -recording and playback of some continuous parameter value such as a level or the centre frequency of a filter- I can only think of ways of doing that in Max which involve metro-driven polling of a value. Also in my case, I want to process the control data and my processing requires that the data are recorded at a fixed sample rate.

Is there a definitive minimum for that sample rate? Or even a generally accepted range?

Thanks,

Aengus.
