Generating a value and popping it out from a node, using python?

[julien]

Hi there,

I’d like to use a python script to generates raw sample and to pop them out from a node. My question is probably too much global.

Let’s say, at first, I’d like to generates a value (or a channel) by using Python. I do something, like I monitor a channel, I do some logic for testing samples of this channel, if a sample matches a condition, I execute the script within a CHOP Execute DAT. And I want this script, for instance, to pop out the samples generated from a CHOP node output.

Here in my example, a button generating random numbers.
Of course, here, “only” a print. I miss how to “write” values for the constant1 there.

Is it a way to go ?

How to drive a Noise CHOP to work and to control its rate?

Thanks @pointshader, that’s very clear. Does using another method to make the random number popping out the CHOP Execute DAT itself make sense (and how to do it) ? Or Am I too much into data HAVE to flow from outputs only and here, in TD, it is better to use always python and scripting ? Actually, for instance, let’s say I’d like to use this number for updating the frequency of a lfo (I know I could probably use some op(‘lfo stuff’).par. expression in my script way of alteration but it is the…

For simple cases you can set the value parameter of a Constant CHOP via Python script.
For an example see Help->Operator Snippets, go the Constant CHOP, check the example named “scripting” (also useful to see “snapshot” and “offset” examples).

For more advanced cases you can use the Script CHOP (check Operator snippets for examples)

Thanks a lot. I got it.
If the Constant CHOP way is a nice practice, I’ll go that way. It is nice because it is also a way for displaying values and debugging.
