Cycle pngs with input selector and 20-80Hz feature?

Post by OtamNarib »

Hello, can't seem to figure out how to get .png files to change with the low frequency bass hits. It works fine using input selector with volume, Trigger set to .5 and wrap set to 8 (It cycles through 8 png files). But if I change the feature to 20-80Hz then they never seem to move, no matter what I change trigger or wrap to, I added a power under both and tried +/- values but so far nothing seems to work. Is there another way of doing this? Volume is ok, but my characters look ridiculous dancing around to increases in volume rather than the beat.

It is a pretty simple setup, for the most part. I have 2 characters, with 8 png files each in different "dance" poses. and would like them to cycle through them using input selector as the kick thumps along. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I attached an image of my setup, after input selector it just goes on to scale/translate and a slight trail effect before going to output.

Usually filtering reduces the signal intensity, making it much lower than the unfiltered level when the input is "normal" music.

I use the scale modifier to increase this filtered output before (above) the trigger modifier - which I leave at 0.5.

Sometimes I need a scale factor as much as 10.
I find it much easier to adjust the scale setting than the trigger level.

If your screen works with an unfiltered input it should work when you filter it.

Sorry, no screenshot at the moment as I have only my mobile phone.

Also keep in mind that 20-80 is really the sub bass range. The punchiness of a kick drum comes from higher frequencies.
