I am trying to create an expression CHOP that would evaluate a function definition from DAT. It seems that the input only evaluates to the text value and the text value is not evaluating as I would want it to.
Reason for this method is that the expression CHOP seems to outperform other methods I have tried for this (haven’t tried to do this in a shader though, which I might try if everything else fails).
Please find attached an example that has this issue in express4 and if you could help, it would be super ExpressIssue.1.toe (3.5 KB)
Hi I’m not sure what result you are trying to get, but op(‘funcDef’)[0,1] in your expression CHOP is just getting the cell that in is in row 0 column 1 of funcDef. Which is a table cell. Even if you put op(‘funcDef’)[0,1].val you are getting the string that’s in that cell, which is the string ‘me.inputVal’. Even if you put eval(op(‘funcDef’)[0,1].val) it gets you nowhere as it is the same as the default for the Expression CHOP: me.inputVal,
The default in the expression is me.inputVal which gets the values coming into the Evaluate CHOP, in your case the LFO CHOP. You can put me.inputValue+1, but that’s the same as putting a Math CHOP after the Expression CHOP, which is a lot easier than messing with expressions. People rarely use the Expression CHOP as far as I know. They just use CHOPs and expressions in parameters.
