accumulate values from an LFO/trigger/pulse/curve - speed node

 use case - you have a pulsing signal and wish to use this value to step through a video

So here is an LFO, set to Pulse mode. I've put a Trail in to visualise it, but it's not really necessary.

The Speed node is what accumulates the value we're interested in. You could add a lag to your pulse for nicer ease-in style effects. The output of the Speed node here is being used to control the "Cue" parameter of the Movie-In. You'll want to adjust the values of your pulse according to the cue point "units" you're using. By default it is set to %, so perhaps you only want each pulse to increment by 5% of the overall clip length each time. You can also set this to seconds and a bunch of other units...

Finally got through most of the Elektronaut vids, so working through some of the Matthew Ragan tuts now. Here are two really good ones demoing two different ways of making a UI that allows you to select an image from a 3x3 grid and display it in a larger window/panel.  https://matthewragan.com/2015/03/29/thp-494-598-image-selector-container-method-touchdesigner/  https://matthewragan.com/2015/03/29/thp-494-598-image-selector-instance-method-touchdesigner/   Some key points that I think are good things to note - Containers are panel types of objects that can be finicky to arrange! However, you can utilise the PANEL CHOP within a container to great advantage - attributes such as "inside" or "rollover" can be used to dim the panel's opacity for example, or maybe a texture TOP that is somewhere. Containers are a bit limited in terms of how you can position them (with any great speed). You're more or less limited to rows and columns, unless you get a little creat
