Jitter Patch Woes

I continued to have problems with the Jitter patch because the PIC sends MIDI signals in a fast-paced manner over and over, that tends to reset the signals. I used a "change" object, but this would not account for the multiple movies that needed to trigger. Thus, I ended up having to work with Luke, who was extremely helpful in assisting me with setting up an equation to deal with the multiple levels of triggering I needed.

However, another issue surfaced soon after, which was that I could not use the fact that the touch sensors being held down would trigger the movie. The problem with this is that they do not send a signal for more than 20 seconds because they eventually equalize (see post on this). Thus, I had to change the patch back again, so that they only triggered the videos, but duration was not the catalyst for keeping them running.
