Hi, I’m trying to have a line draw out a pattern. I have a simple network with a pattern chop and a trail chop. The trail chop is resetting which is causing line to shoot to the center before it continues the pattern. I’m hoping someone could take a quick peak and let me know what I’m doing incorrect. Thank you! All I’m looking for is the trail to continue around with the pattern no matter what the pattern settings are.

The trailCHOP shows you the history of the input CHOP relative to the timeline, so it might not be the best approach to what you’re going for, as it will reset as soon as the timeline frame hits 0. Instead, try moving the phase of the patternCHOP, then use trimCHOP to define the window of the samples to trim.
Hope this helps:

Hey,
just want to clarify on something - not a functional change but good to correctly understand I think. The Trail CHOP does not reset when the timeline loops, rather it is recording the current frame of the input. So when giving it a multi sample / frame input, it will record the samples of the input at the current timeline position. Hence with a 1000 frame input and a 600 frame timeline, the CHOP never plays threw all it’s values.
Regarding the Pattern CHOP in general, I would skip the Trim CHOP, as the “Number of Cycles” parameter will let you model the section of the curve you’d like.

fantastic thank you both!!!
Thanks for the clarification!
