An output can feed multiple inputs of the same type. An input has one source; Function also requires matching signatures. All connection rules →

Parameters

There are no fixed numeric parameters. Custom nodes, collections and C++ expose additional settings through their definition in the inspector.

How to use it

LFO → Compare (> 0) → Trigger. Counter → Integer to Number → a graph parameter.
