There are only 3 rates in csound: i,k and a (p-fields are i-rate).
The need of a high k-rate value is mainly to avoid distortion in sound. As I said in a
previous message, one shoud use only a-rate signals to control amplitude or variant delay.
So I suggest to use a-rate amplitude envelopes or to use opcode interp to tranform a
k-rate signal to an a-rate one. In these cases the distortion will become unheardable even
with low k-rate values.

I believe at one time there was a fourth rate, to sit between k and i,
but as it did not seem to be useful it was removed. I think it was
