Signal meter?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hey y’all,

I’m trying to build a signal meter with CHOPs and am running into a mental roadblock. I’d like to have a resultant CHOP with x number of channels that represent the segments on a digital VU meter (so I can drive some LEDs).

I’ve included an example file that implements this but in a roundabout way; I’m converting the signal from CHOP to TOP and back to CHOP. I know there must be a better, more efficient way to do this without leaving “CHOP land” and that I must be missing something…

Any help is appreciated!

It just hit me that I could use multiple triggers with gradated threshold values to do this, and it’s definitely faster than the TOP method. I’ve uploaded an updated TOE file.

Still wondering if this is the most elegant solution though…
