Norway Workshop | Introduction to CHOPs – Channel Operators | Part 1 of 2

CHOPs, short for CHannel OPerators, are a powerful technology which enables the processing of motion data, audio, on-screen controls, MIDI data, and controls from input devices. A CHOP contains one or more motion curves or “channels”. A CHOP modifies the channels, and then passes the channels on to the next CHOP in the network. CHOPs are then connected to object motion or any other animated part of TouchDesigner via “exporting” and “channel references”.
