Hi Chuckk,

Just to note, you don't need to set kr and I recommend not bothering
with it anymore as it really just is used to find ksmps and if you set
ksmps already then you're causing more work to make sure ksmps and kr
match.  Better just to set ksmps and not set kr and let csound do it
for you.
