Turns the CHOP's output on or off.

Output the current bar.

Output the current beat.

Outputs the total number of beats.

Path to a DAT containing callbacks for each event received.

Increases the count each bar.

A ramp that counts up until the bar is reset.

Initializes the connection to the Ableton Link session.

This will determine how to connect the CHOP channel to the parameter. Refer to the Export article for more information.

This path points to the root node where all of the paths that exporting by Channel Name is Path:Parameter are relative to.

The DAT used to hold the export information when using the DAT Table Export Methods (See above).

Outputs the current phase in the bar.

Outputs a pulse each bar.

Outputs a 0-1 ramp each bar.

Outputs a 0-1 ramp each bar.

Outputs a 0-1 ramp each beat.

Handle cases where multiple input CHOPs' sample rates are different. When Resampling occurs, the curves are interpolated according to the Interpolation Method Option, or "Linear" if the Interpolate Options are not available.

To determine which channels get affected, some CHOPs use a Scope string on the Common page. See Pattern Matching.

Specifies the time signature. The first number is the number of beats per measure and the second number indicates the type of note that constitutes one beat. See Time Signature - Wikipedia for additional information.

Outputs a sine wave each bar.

Output the current sixteenths.

Enables start stop synchronization for the entire Ableton Link session. Start stop synchronization allows for sharing of start or stop signals between subgroups of peers in a Link session.

Outputs the current tempo (also known as BPM).

Turning this on forces the channels to be "Time Sliced". A Time Slice is the time between the last cook frame and the current cook frame.

Makes the POP operate on point attributes, vertex attributes or primitive attributes where applicable.

The output attribute's data type, default float.

Pass through the first input to the output unchanged.

The number of components in the new custom attribute.

Default values of the output attribute components if they cannot be computed.

Only output which attributes you specify in this POP - helps isolate attributes into a separate branch.

Free memory that has accumulated when output memory has grown and shrunk.

Input's attributes you want to affect within the chosen attribute class, or attribute components.

Name of attribute to output (can choose components of attribute), can choose from menu.

Whether to override the kind of attribute automatically created based on the POP input and parameters. Allows to specify manually the type and number of components of the new attribute.

The accumulated value for each point includes the current point's value, or does not include the current point's value.

Select what data to apply to the diffuse color of the instances, use the drop-down menu on the right to easily select from the available options. These parameters will be combined/replaced with the SOPs 'Cd' attribute, as chosen by the Color Mode parameter.

Toggle the actor on/off. If the actor is active, then it will be updated as the simulation progress. However, if it is inactive, then it will be removed from the simulation and no longer collide with any of the other actors/bodies. As a result, it's transform will also no longer be updated.

The initial angular velocity of the actor in degrees per second in m/s. This parameter can also be used to modify the actor's angular velocity during a simulation. Additionally, it is used in conjunction with the "Cue Velocity" and "Cue Velocity Pulse" parameters.

Enables the transformation on this page.

The Auto-Bank Factor rolls the Component based on the curvature of the path at its current position. To turn off auto-banking, set the bank scale to 0.

Select what data to apply to the diffuse color of the instances, use the drop-down menu on the right to easily select from the available options. These parameters will be combined/replaced with the SOPs 'Cd' attribute, as chosen by the Color Mode parameter.

Specifies the center of mass of the collision shape. The center of mass is the point around which the body will rotate. Center of mass can be viewed using a guide in the Actor COMP's viewer. It is shown as a red axis.

Path to a component used as the Master Clone.

The type of collision shape to make from the selected SOPs. Collision shapes can be viewed using a guide in the Actor COMP's viewer

Controls how the instance color values interact with the SOPs 'Cd' (diffuse color) attribute. If the SOP doesn't have a 'Cd' attribute, then it will behave as if its 'Cd' is (1, 1, 1, 1).

Select a specific operator to get data from for the Color instance attributes below. If not specified, the the operator specified in the 'Default Instance OP' on the Instance parameter page can be used.

This button will copy the transform from this page to the main Xform page, and reset this page's transform.

Pulse the linear and angular velocity to values given by linvel and angvel. This will set the velocity to the given value at the beginning of the next frame.

Holds the linear and angular velocity and values given by linvel and angvel. The object will still collide with any other bodies in the simulation.

Sequence of arbitrary attributes to be assigned to instances

Specify a path to a CHOP or DAT used to transform the instances. Number of samples/rows in this CHOP or DAT determines the number of instances when using the CHOP Length/DAT Num Rows mode for Instance Count.

Toggles on the display for the collision shape in the COMP viewer.

The tolerance of the minimum volume bounding ellipsoid. In other words, how close to the optimal solution it is.

The size of the 2D emission grid. The size represents the number of particles on each side of the emission grid. For example, a 2x5 emission size will emit a grid 2 particles wide and 5 particles high.

The speed the particles come out of the emitter.

Control if the OP should be actively cloneing. Turning this off causes this node to stop cloning it's 'Clone Master'.

Instantaneously clone the contents.

When enabled, the Actor COMP will actively emit particles.

This button will re-load from the external .tox file (if present).

Sequence of info for creating extensions on this component

Path to a .tox file on disk which will source the component's contents upon start of a .toe. This allows for components to contain networks that can be updated independently. If the .tox file can not be found, whatever the .toe file was saved with will be loaded.

What to do with the first row of a table DAT when using DAT rows for Instance Count.

The type of dynamic Flex actor.

A list of local forces, meaning forces (ie. Force COMPs) that will only be applied to this actor.

Sets which axis and direction is considered the forward direction.

The kinetic friction of the actor. It is the resistance between two bodies rubbing/sliding. The overall friction is the product of the two bodies touching. For example, if one body has 0 friction and the other has 1, then the overall friction between the two bodies is 0.

Select what data to apply to the diffuse color of the instances, use the drop-down menu on the right to easily select from the available options. These parameters will be combined/replaced with the SOPs 'Cd' attribute, as chosen by the Color Mode parameter.

Specifies a name you can use anywhere at all as the path to that component. See Global OP Shortcut.

Actor's local gravity in m/s^2. Will only be applied if the actor is not using the Bullet Solver COMP's global gravity ie. the "Use Global Gravity" parameter above is turned off.

Give the actor infinite mass. If the object is dynamic this will make it unmovable and static. Toggling infinite mass on or off will not require recreation of the collision shape, unlike changing the Kinematic State parameter.

Recreates the collision shapes for all the bodies in the Actor COMP. Also resets all velocities and position to their default state. Initialize Actor should be pulsed when any changes are made to the SOPs used for creating the collision shape, or for any changes to the instancing OP.

Two modes to determine how many instances will be created.

Sets how transforms are applied to the instances.

Specify the paths one or more TOP containing the textures to use with the instances. Wildcards and pattern matching is supported.

Turns on instancing for the Geometry Component.

Sequence header for internal operators.

The kinematic state defines the Actor COMPs ability to move from external forces. If an object is dynamic, then it is moveable in the simulation, but if it static then it is not.

By default all lights used in the Render TOP will affect geometry renderer. This parameter can be used to specify a sub-set of lights to be used for this particular geometry. The lights must be listed in the Render TOP as well as this parameter to be used.

The initial linear velocity of the actor in m/s. This parameter can also be used to modify an actor's linear velocity during a simulation. Additionally, it is used in conjunction with the "Cue Velocity" and "Cue Velocity Pulse" parameters.

Loads the component into memory only when required. Good to use for components that are not always used in the project.

The mass in kilograms of the actor.

Selects a MAT to apply to the geometry inside.

Sets the maximum number of particles in the Actor COMP. Once this number is reached, emission will be done by recycling existing particles in the Actor COMP.

Optional name to search by, instead of the instance class name.

Determines what is displayed in the node viewer, also known as the Node Viewer. Some options will not be available depending on the Component type (Object Component, Panel Component, Misc.)

When using the Manual mode for Instance Count, this parameter set the number of instances.
