In this breakdown I use the ComplexOp in the Flex position feedback to add some beautiful chaos to the system.
The other main focus of the tutorial is using my OpSequencer preset system to morph/ease between different presets/states of the component.
This is a very quick and flexible way of creating variety in your visuals.

I find this patch super fun so I thought I'd share! It is also surprisingly simple and customizable!
On another note I'll be away on tour with a production in Mexico and then visiting LA until xmas, so will probably be radio silence from me. I'll try to share some #tourlife content tho...

Since sometimes there is some confusion around the free FunctionStore_tools toolkit: the toolkit is only a portion of my Patreon content.
On the paid tiers you will find more exclusive tools that help with artistic content creation, but also more advanced and niche tools that you can integrate into your workflow, as well as project files.

Basically if you use Python Extensions you will 100% want this update as it contains QuickExt containing the `CustomParHelper` class which supercharges your extensions when working with custom parameters.

I found the palette 'sceneChanger' a bit too convoluted to use, so I made my own simplified version that uses inputs or parameter sequences as opposed to the 'Scene COMP' that the original required you to use.
Hope you will find this useful!
edit:
Hey y'all, the recent release of the amazing T3D by Josef Pelz (if you haven't checked it out now is a good time!) is now compatible with the OP menu mods of the toolkit. Since we are both hacking into the OP create dialog there were some conflicts.
Now it's mostly all good, except you might have to (on the top right corner) turn T3D off and then on again!
I am currently very busy ...

In this breakdown I show you how I work combining some of my visual tools and OpSequencer to create some varied looks with a "simple" (at least from the top down) network and some python expressions for perfect looping.
Hope you enjoy this, feedback is very welcome!

This release replaces the "Parent Hierarchy" button next to the navigation bar to "iop select" which intends to streamline working with iops even more - something I'm a huge fan of these days (lmk if I should make a video on that topic) - by giving you an overview of available iops from the current COMP you are in, and letting you drag and drop a select to the iop!
Remember, creating iops...

Appreciate you all sticking around even though I've been less active in the past months due to some bigger projects and happenings.
