Welcome, Daniel!

You maybe want to make your counter count from 0 to 15 later. Why?
Because then you can use [mod] to make sub-counters, e.g. one that
counts from 0-3 every quarter note using [mod 4]. ([mod] always starts
at 0.)

Just use a [float] or [f] object to get a float event. Use the cold,
right inlet to set the value of the float to be different from 0. See
attachement.
