Skip steps in number sequence
Hello,
just started max this week. i made a list, via a counter I can move up and down the list bar via triggers.
know i want to make it so i have the option of moving 1 step or 2 steps at once.
only from what i understand a counter is only able to do one step at a time and not able to skip steps.
how would i set it up?
ps. it‘s important that it outputs a number so for it corresponds with the list and it needs to go in a loop (max value back to 0)
Please let me know.
Check the documentation about counter's other inlets. One lets you set the next output value, which you could use when you're trying to do +2 steps.
from what I understand the first 3 inlets only respond to a bang and that means 1 step forward or back word at once.
And the other 2 inlet is to set the min or max value. so a counter would not be useful for what I am trying to achieve.
I want to have the option to go +1, -1, +2 or -2 steps between 0 - 11 in a loop.

But I missed the part earlier where you wanted down steps as well. Another easy option could work like this:
Perfect. this what I was looking for.
can you explain what is happing? i dont understand what is happening.
I checked the helper. Can’t grasp it.
