I have a number box that varies in value, I am trying to state in the pd language that "if this number box's value is this, then bang X".

so if my number modulo 4 equals 1 I want it to bang a different number box changing the speed of a metro.

If this is confusing, please ask me and i will try to re-word it, or upload a patch explaining what I mean.

Hi BumSkeeter!

I think I know what could do a job for you...
Try something like this:

[mod 4]
|
[sel 1]
|
| [ \ ... here you specify the rate of [metro]
| /
[f ]
\
\
\
[x] \
| \
[metro]
