counter start: 0 s.
1 to: 100 do: [:i |
Osc01 start: (i/8) s
freq: (i *100)
currentNum: i ]

freq: is in an Oscillator sound, and works fine

currentNum: is in a SoundToGlobalController sound - I am using it to show a could of the number of created oscilators - but it doesn't work. The !Count variable doesn't show in the VCS either.

There are several ways you can do what you are asking:

* Make your oscillator a mix of the oscillator you have now and a SoundToGlobalController. You would need to place the SoundToGlobalController into a SetDuration (to a duration of 1/8 s or less) so that all of the SoundToGlobalControllers would not be running at the same time.

* You could keep your SoundToGlobalController separate, but place it in a SetDuration (as in the previous alternative). Then, in the loop, add "counter start: (1/8) s currentNum: i.". This will create a separate SoundToGlobalController for each count.

* Another way is to create an expression to use in the SoundToGlobalController that will increment once every 1/8 of a second. Here are two possibilities:

(1 bpm: (1/8) s bpm) countTriggers
