I was wondering if somebody could explain me precisely how [count~] works when triggered with a signal input (like in tutorial 26 about pfft~).

does it count all way the at every sample, or everytime the signal value changes, or... ?

This feature is apparently not well documented in the object help file or reference page, and it left me with a lot of questions.

does it count all way the at every sample, or everytime the signal value changes, or... ?

[count~] counts at audio rate, meaning one increment per sample.

If I recall correctly, in some patches with [count~] inside a [pfft~] and

using a third argument "1", [count~] starts automatically and is synchronous

with the third output of [fftin~] (the first time). It may be assumed and

But what you ask for is slightly different.

Actually, in Max 5, the inside of the [pfft~ myvoc] has been changed, and

there is no [count~] anymore, but use is made of [fftin~]'s synchro outlet.

Plus, [count~] is not described as accepting a signal input in its leftmost

input. Not in the help file, reference, or help hover messages. So, I

assumed it is an unsupported feature. I'll forget about it until new

In fact, i asked because the illustration "Recording and playback in a pfft~ subpatch" from tutorial 26 in the build-in documentation (5.05) still shows use of count~ with signal input... but i didn't open the exemple patch itself, which has been modified, indeed...
