Sequencer
Loops through a series of keyframe values in sync with the BPM clock. Each step holds a value, and the sequencer interpolates between them as it cycles. Use it for rhythmic patterns, stepping through discrete states, or any repeating animation tied to tempo.
Inputs
This node has no inputs. All configuration is done through its on-node controls.
Outputs
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Out | Scalar | Current sequencer value, interpolated between keyframes |
Controls
- Sync Rate: Beat division for the cycle length (1 bar, 2 bars, etc.).
- Beats: Number of beats per full cycle.
- Bipolar: When enabled, output is remapped from 0–1 to −1–1.
- Keyframes: Editable step values with easing between them.
Ideas
- Step through discrete values to switch between color presets, positions, or scale states on each beat.
- Create rhythmic on/off patterns by setting keyframes to 0 and 1, then use as a gate signal into Multiply.
- Enable bipolar mode and wire into position for back-and-forth motion that follows the beat.
Tips
- The sequencer always runs; it starts cycling as soon as the clip plays.
- Keyframe interpolation uses the easing curve set on each keyframe, so you can have sharp steps or smooth transitions.
