sent to the compare input, the index output would be set to 0, since no match was
found. (You can prevent a value from being sent when there is no match using the
mode input.)
Input Properties
• compare: Each time this value changes, it is compared to all values in the
table. If a match is found, the index of that value is sent to the index output
and the trigger output sends a trigger.
• mode: Determines what will happen if a value arriving at the compare input
cannot be found in the list of values specified by the value inputs. When set to
no match, the output index is set to 0 when a match cannot be found. When
set to match, the output index will be set only when the compare input
matches one of the values specified by the value inputs.
• values: Sets the number of values in the lookup table. Increase this value to
add input values, decrease it to remove input values.
• value 1, value 2, etc: The values in the lookup table.
Output Properties
• index: When the compare input changes, and a match is found in one of the
value inputs, sends the index of the value that was matched.
• trigger: When the compare input changes, and a match is found in one of the
value inputs, sends a trigger.
Loop Calculator
Calculates a ‘play length’ percentage for a specific movie or sound based
on the tempo measured at the trigger input
The Loop Calculator is useful when you want the ‘play length’ (i.e. loop length) of
a Movie or Sound player to match the beat of music you are hearing. Typically, one
would connect the output of a Keyboard Watcher to the trigger input, and tap the
beat of the music using the computer keyboard.
Input Properties
• type: Specifies the media type of the file to be controlled. Can be either
‘movie’ or ‘sound’.
• media file: Specifies the number of the media file for which the loop will be
calculated, as shown in the Media Window. When the type input is set to
