Effects that work outward from form
The pack
One node degrades the image the way a starved codec does. Four put color on a clock — each on its own node, plus a master that drives them together.

Brightness on a clock. Sine, square, or sawtooth — at a rate you set. Try this one free →
Color intensity, modulated on the beat — from washed-flat to blown-out.
Rotate the spectrum in time. The whole frame turns on your clock.
One panel drives gain, saturation, and hue together — the whole family from a single clock.
Stack a starve node under the pulse family and the modulation rides the broken signal. Order is the instrument.
The clock
Every pulse node runs on the same three shapes at a rate you dial in. Try it — this is the control you get on the Edit page.
