I need a counter or some counting mechanism that can count up and down and change between up and down easily.

so I need something like a counter that counts from 1 to 8 and then again from 1 to 8 and that I can change with one bang so it starts counting backwards from wherever it is, so from 7 to 8 for example. and with another bang up again.

I know, stupid question again, I've even got the feeling I made something like it in the workshop i followed, but I can't seem to figure it out.

also, has anyone any idea what the two middle inlets of the counter object do? the help file seems to be missing.

use [counter] from Gem... 3 arguments: from, to, and direction (fwd, bckwd, ping-pong) - direction can be changed dyamically..

[metro]
| [1 ( <- fwd
| |
| | [-1 ( <- bkwd
| |/
[f ]x[+ 1]
|
[mod 8]
|
[+ 1]
