Blackboard

The Blackboard holds the graph’s properties: named values you can change while it plays.

  • Open it from the top bar
  • + adds a property: Float, Bool, Trigger, Audio Clip, MIDI Clip, Scale, Vector 2
  • ▸ opens one to set its value and range
  • Drag its ⠿ handle onto the canvas (or press + Node) for a node that outputs it
  • Several nodes can read the same property

Types

  • Float: a number in a range. Glides so changes don’t click.
  • Bool: on or off
  • Trigger: fires one short pulse
  • Audio Clip / MIDI Clip: a clip for a sampler or MIDI node
  • Scale: a scale for the Quantizer or Arpeggiator
  • Vector 2: two values (x and y) on one wire
