Option to Group Nodes

[loopdaflar]

Could nodes be grouped in a scene?
i.e. Several nodes could be collected into a group node to simplify and organize the workflow

Embrace the concept of sub-scenes. Combined with globals and organised with folders they are effective at simplifying and organising workflow.

Thanks for the reply! Do you have examples of how to use Global settings? Thanks for your input.

Globals are fantastic and have a number of important uses.

• Primarily they are used to synchronise the same value across multiple nodes.
• They are also excellent for documenting important numbers (e.g. iterations, BPM, counts, timers etc) and,
• Using them in the very powerful expressions as variables.
• You can use globals to amalgamate differing reactivity into a single value for making more complex reactions to music.
• There are many more specific examples of using globals but one final important one for now is that you can (effectively) expose parameter controls through globals: assign a global to a parameter in, say a sub-scene, then you can control that from the globals panel whether that node is visible or not.

There's a section in the manual: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/downloads ... Parameters

There have been a few requests submitted regarding Globals including folders (for management) and scene specific Globals (or locals) and perhaps others I've forgotten.
