count

A trigger-based counter.

It takes in the following arguments:

• trig: a trigger signal
• max: maximum value to count up to. since it is zero-index, the value reached is max - 1.
• mode: this sets the counting mode. A value of 0 will loop, a value of 1 will reach the top value, then spit out "-2".

Count will always start at 0, and count upwards towards. It is assumed that a trigger signal will occur at the very beginning of the patch. If it does not occur, count will produce a value of -1 until triggered.

The patch below uses count to modulate the frequency of a sine wave to produce the overtone series.

 # Metro trigger signal
 4 metro 
 # count 0-7
 8 1 count 
 # add one to make range 1-8
 1 + 
 # multiply signal by 100 to produce harmonic series
 100 *
 # the rest of the sine
 0.3 sine
