Of course, I'm referring to this classic counter structure, just in case it wasn't clear...
[metro] | [f]x[+ 1] (crossed patch cables) | [mod]
Where:
outlet of [f] connected to left/hot inlet of [+ 1] outlet of [+ 1] connected to right/cold inlet of [f]
thx, d.

If I use a simple counter structure that continues to generate a number from [f] & [+1] at every bang, and use [mod] to keep that number within certain bounds, then eventually it will require more and more memory to hold the number coming from [f], right? Is this a potential memory leak, or is there a cap to how much memory it will hold?
Likewise, is there a max limit to the number that can be stored in [f]? I've seen that [f] resets itself somewhere around 8.394e+06. Does that mean that [f] resets itself and clears the memory?
Or in less-theoretical and more practical terms, would it make sense to reset [f] to 0 every so often, or let it run forever towards infinity?
best, d.
