How do I link a number to a metro? I would like to be able to adjust the regularity of an event using a number object.

I have tried using an object "metro" and a number that feeds into that, but this doesn't work?

(I'm very new to this)

Connect a number box object to the right inlet of [metro] to change it's speed. The left inlet turns it on and off.

If you right-click (or ctrl-click on Mac) an object, you can open its help file to see how to interact with it.

Thanks!

I am not sure I understand what are you trying to do, but if you want to output numbers in a range from -5 to 5 you can: [metro] -> [f] [+1] -> [%11] -> [-5]

the [%] object is an useful math function called modulo. you can actually skip the algebra thing and think of it as an object to "loop" numbers within a range.
