### Example Projects

[**Glitchgain**](https://app.nodalin.xyz/project/9cac8f87-51c2-4ccf-afe7-01ab207bc6ac)\
A simple project utilising a few Effect node, with the last one on the chain being a Chromatic node. The direction angle of the Chromatic is constantly increased by a Counter node.

[**Voxel Voidin**](https://app.nodalin.xyz/project/d3a82798-2e81-46c9-a5af-d23dd1bb227a)\
A simple demonstration on how you can use a couple of Wave node to create a perfect cyclic motion. A single Counter node is connected as stream to both Wave nodes assuring the are in perfect sync.
