Stair pattern

How can I easily pattern a set of stair treads? For instance, I want a set of treads to move up 8" and over 12" and I want 12 instances. If I give it 2 directions and 12 instances it each direction I get 144 stair treads. It's a real PITA to unsellect 132 instances that I don't want. There must be an easier way!
 
Just add 2 dimensions for the first direction. You want to iterate both the height and the angle.

The attached image should help.
