Hello. I’m using an inicremental command instrument to increase a discreet parameter from values 1-8 every time it is triggered, but want it to start at 1 again after reaching 8. Any ideas how to acheive this?

Thanks!

Have you considered using a “set parameter” command instrument with a parameter trigger condition that ensures it only triggers if the parameter’s value is 9? Because it will only trigger when your existing command instrument sets the parameter’s value when it is already 8, it should serve your purposes.
