I tried the modulo method but I saw that if the user change the max value to a value less than the current value, the counter never resets again ...
I tried the implementation with the [select] object and I put and extra select to be sure that the counter never exceeds the maximum of 8 steps.
Attached you'll find my current 8step implementation.

Hm, it should reset. If you have a [mod 10] and you send a current value bigger than 10 into it, say 12, then out you get a 2 which is fine and what is wanted generally.
I tried the implementation with the [select] object and I put and extra select to be sure that the counter never exceeds the maximum of 8 steps.
I'm away from Pd at the moment so I cannot test your patch, but I find counters stopped or reset by only one value to be a bit "dangerous", because you always have to make sure that this value is actually reached. There are a couple of things that could go wrong. For example if you count only even values like 0 2 4 ..., [select 11] will never select anything. ANother common danger is trying to compare floating point values lke [select 1.001] or [== 0.01], which also will not work generally.
That's why I generally recommend the [mod] counter for counting.

Tas, I cant seem to reproduce that specific problem. Here's a slightly simpler take. Basically what Frank says, but don't even bother to reset. Resetting is what causes the problems, but there's no need, just take the modulo and let the counter run forever. If you want to zero the steps value then force the float to zero. (caveat - if you do that halfway through a beat your first beat will be off by the difference, everything else will then be fine) Imho this is the simplest and best method. Thanks for what you said about "Hi Honey", being "ahead of your time" isn't always good. Nobody likes a clever bastard. ;)
