how do i reset a counter without causing a message to be outputted?
currently banging a '0' message to the counters (reset counter to number)input, each time i need to reset it, however this cause a 0 to be outputted, which then cause other problems down the signal chain.
is there a reset message? or clear message? etc etc...

try the inlet "reset counter to number on next clock" (third inlet)

also, read the objects reference for a list of all the messages a given object recognizes.

Tip of the day: Hover the mouse pointer over an object inlet and look for a red or blue circle. If it's red, it's hot. If it's blue it's cold. Hot means immediate output. Cold means the value is set without output. If you want to make a hot inlet cold, prepend the input with "set". ex. "set 0"

this is a semi bad advice to give, as that method doesn't work automatically for every object ;)

yes, you're right.. I shouldn't have made a general reference. But it should still help him with his counter problem. :) thanks vichug
