Animation & ControlModifiers
BPM
A beat-synced shape: Beat Ramp, Sine, or Pulse at a BPM and multiplier.
The BPM node runs on a tempo rather than seconds.
- BPM, Shape, Beat Multiplier
- Found in the node graph under Modifiers → Logic & Timeline
The image on the right is the example patch itself. Drag and drop it onto the app, or load it with File → Load, to open the full graph. The modifier drives the Scale of a Hexagonal generator; the meter on the node shows its live value.
Inputs and outputs
| Port | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Modifier | Modifier | Drag it onto a parameter row, or wire it into another modifier's input. |
Parameters
- BPM (20–300, default 120).
- Shape — Beat Ramp (default), Sine, Pulse.
- Beat Multiplier (0.0625–16, default 1) — cycles per beat.
Every slider has a per-parameter animation bar and can itself be driven by another modifier.
Examples
Bar cycle — Beat Multiplier 0.25 for one cycle per four beats.
Troubleshooting
The parameter does not move — check the bound parameter's Operation at the port. At Multiply against a value of 0 the result stays 0.
