Source node
Slideshow
Steps through a folder of images on a beat interval, with an optional crossfade between them. Point it at a folder and it becomes a self-running photo reel locked to the tempo.
What it does
Slideshow is a source node: it makes a picture from nothing, so it sits at the start of a visual chain. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Set the interval to one bar and turn the crossfade up for a slow, dreamy gallery.
