Expressions may be composed to any depth. Each part of an expression is evaluated at its own proper rate. For instance, if the terms within a sub-expression all change at the control rate or slower, the sub-expression will be evaluated only at the control rate; that result might then be used in an audio-rate evaluation. For example, in

<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="programlisting">
k1 <span class="op">+</span> <span class="opc">abs</span>(<span class="opc">int</span>(p5) <span class="op">+</span> <span class="opc">frac</span>(p5) <span class="op">*</span> 100<span class="op">/</span>12 + <span class="opc">sqrt</span>(k1))</pre>
</div>

the 100/12 would be evaluated at orch init, the p5 expressions evaluated at note i-time, and the remainder of the expression evaluated every k-period. The whole might occur in a unit generator argument position, or be part of an assignment statement.
