a classic message-order issue; the value is being sent before the switch has been switched to accept the value you want. use trigger to ensure counter is updated before a value is sent to one of switch's inlets. remember message order is right-to-left

@floatingpoint Thanks.

Re-read my question and I think I asked it wrongly :)

My question was more if there exists an object where you don't need to patch as many cables to each number.

So here's what I did instead:

hard to see what you want to do, [funnel] maybe ? [cycle] ?

probably [funbuff] is what you want

@AHLSTROMINFO: where is your input data coming from?

This looks like a very "standard" sequencer setup, am I right? In which case I'd just use Multislider with the "fetch $1" message.
