Thanks George for the example. As far as I can tell, in this situation, it’s count+1 that is affected by the conditional statement.
I’ve tried a few variations with Sample and Hold etc., and seem to come to the same conclusion—that patch structures (like this) inside an iterator that feeds in on itself will actually pass the state of it’s output to the the input of the count+1 patch structure. I would agree that it seems counter-intuitive, and also don’t have a solution for a capped counter.
