So we have a clash of terminology here ;) We need to be careful. I (and
otehrs, I think) have meant ticks as a subdivision of a musical beat. You
have meant it as a subdivision of a frequency-rate sample.
If you need higher than sample resolution, can't you just increase your
sample rate?
Otherwise we can start talking in sub-samples, where the host defines
sub-samples per sample as an integral value. It seems to me, however that
this is analogous to increasing the host sample rate...
