Compare & Convert nodes

utilities for converting nodes, branching between inputs, and analyzing their values overall.

Activity Sliders convert.numberActivity

sliders to convert a number input (0 to 1) to a boolean, with support for delaying it. inspired by veadotube mini.

this node simplifies the process of taking a number, smoothing it a little bit, comparing it to another number, and then delaying the output according to yet another number.

not only this is the node that veadotube mini uses behind the scenes, we also made it so that it looks like mini. hopefully this makes things a bit more familiar when starting out!

Branch on Boolean convert.branchboolean

selects one of two inputs, depending on whether the supplied boolean is true or false.

Branch on Number convert.branchnumber

selects between inputs, depending on the current value of the supplied number.

Branch on Point convert.branchpoint

selects between inputs, depending on the current value of the supplied point.

Branch on Selection convert.branchselect

selects between inputs, depending on the current position controlled by the supplied booleans.

Branch on String convert.branchstring

selects between inputs, depending on the current value of the supplied string.

Compare convert.compare

compares the value of two given nodes.

Fallback convert.default

takes a list of input and returns the leftmost input that currently has a value to output.

Has Value convert.available

returns true if the input node currently has a value to output.

On Value Change convert.change

returns true the instant that the input node changes its value.

Relay convert.repeat

takes the input and outputs it. literally does nothing to the value.

this can be useful to organize your nodes, although right now they can add a little bit of overhead.
