Ports and connections

Port / IDTypeConnection
IncrementincrementnumberControls Increment with a number stream. Without a wire, the manual value is 1.Manual value when disconnected
ResetresetgateAn on Gate resets the internal state.Optional
OutputoutnumberThe number result of Accumulator, available to other nodes on every sample.Output

An output can feed multiple inputs of the same type. An input has one source; Function also requires matching signatures. All connection rules →

Parameters

Values describe manual settings. A connected stream replaces a parameter’s manual value; disconnecting restores it.

How to use it

Increment = 1 / Sample Rate from Time / Context creates a time counter in seconds.

Things to check

This is a per-sample accumulator, not a pulse counter. Use Counter for Gate edges.

Check required inputs and matching types. Run Compile before auditioning; a validation failure preserves the previous working module. Troubleshooting →
