Switch operator doesn't consistently pick up Beat operator changes?

Hi there!

I’m suspecting that I’m lacking some fundamental understanding of how the ‘beat’ or ‘switch’ operator works, because I’m seeing some behavior that is very puzzling.

I have a ‘beat’ operator sending pulses to a ‘switch’, but the switch only turns to ‘1’ every now and then. I would’ve expect it to turn to ‘1’ for every beat.

As a test, I added a counter operator, and that one picks up every beat.

What’s different about the ‘switch’ that makes it not pick up the pulses from the ‘beat’ operator?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @subset,

can you verify that the switch doesn’t pick up every pulse by adding a Trail CHOP and adding the Beat CHOP as well as the Switch CHOP as an input?

cheers

Hi @snaut – I tried adding a trail CHOP, and it seems like pulse is indeed picked up by the switch! Thank you!
