Deleting from CHOP1 based on CHOP2's values - is there a simpler way?

I wanted to delete samples from CHOP1, wherever CHOP2 is 1.

For a long time, I tried to use both inputs on the Delete CHOP, but I wasn’t able to understand what it does.

Then I multiplied them with a Math CHOP, which works well. Is there a way to do it with the Delete CHOP’s 2nd input?

Was playing around with it too, couldn’t figure it out. Wiki is blank for the two inputs. Potentially a bug?

For now you can just merge two channels, and specify which channel you want to use for the compare channel. It even has the option to delete the compare channel at the same time, so this is really just as efficient imo

Thanks! That’s a bit more flexible.

Here’s an example. I’m adding the absolute value of all coordinates, and deleting the ones that are equal to 0.5.
