Something like on the attached image.

Does that mean that the phasor will act as it gets the last > value in the buffer e.g. The phasor~ accepts audio signals at its frequency input as well. The momentary amplitude of that audio signal will be interpreted as the frequency in Hz. So in your case the phasor~ has a frequency that is not constant, but oscillates between -1Hz and 1Hz (because that's what the [osc~] signal does). You might hear clicks now and then as the sawtooth waveform wraps around. How frequent does the phasor~'s frequency alter between -1Hz and 1Hz? Well, that is determined by the [osc~] frequency in turn. This is 1000Hz when you open your patch, and switches to 1Hz when you click onto the [x] toggle box that is connected to the frequency inlet. Bottom line: The fact that an audio signal can be used as a control signal for other properties, and is itself never made audible, is at the heart of modular analogue and digital synthesis.
