Really simple question – stuck with gate

HI I’m running a metro so that a gate runs through its outputs, and i find this strange, but i can’t use the last output to reset the count and so it starts again sending the message through the first output [then second, etc.].

I find it strange because while there is a loop in the patch I can’t see why the patch is just junk.
It’s a very simple patch.

Thank you for any help etc..

could be a problem of the execution order. try to check it step by step with the debugger.

deferlow is your friend.

Although perhaps useful as an example of deferlow, the patch itself is fairly pointless as you can much more easily use counter…

I’m well aware of the counter object. I was just trying to illustrate the solution to this sort of stack overflow problem, which can arise in many ways.
