TYPE: CHOP
TITLE: Cycle CHOP

This CHOP creates cycles. It can repeat the channels any number of times
before and after the original. It can also make a single cycle have a
smooth transition from its end to its beginning, so it loops smoothly.

Since channels may not naturally loop well, the Cycle CHOP provides three
different methods of blending between the cycles.

There are no local variables.

Parameters
Cycle
    Cycles Before      - The number of cycles to loop before     /before
			 the input CHOP. This parameter can be
			 fractional.
    Cycles After       - The number of cycles to loop after      /after
			 the input CHOP. This parameter can be
			 fractional.
    Mirror Cycles      - If on, consecutive cycles are mirror
			 images (reversed) of one another. The
			 first cycle is never mirrored.
    Blend Start to End - If on, the end of the CHOP is blended
			 into the start of the CHOP to produce
			 a smooth loop. If Cycles Before and 
			 Cycles After are 0, Region is non-zero,
			 and Extend Conditions are "Cycle", it
			 loops smoothly forever.

Blend
    Method             - How to blend between cycles.
        Preserve Length         - Keeps the total length of
				      each cycle the same as the
				      length of the input CHOP.
        Overlap Sequences       - Overlaps each cycle with
				      with the previous cycle.
        Insert Blend Region     - Inserts a region between
				      the cycles where blending
				      is done.
    Shape              - The shape of the blending function.
        Linear - Linear shape          
        Ease in - Smooth on entry
        Ease out - Smooth on exit
        Ease in Ease out - Smooth on entry and exit
        Cubic        - For Insert Blend Region, cubic
			   interpolation fills the region
			   between the cycles.
        Add          - The overlapped region has the
			   overlapping samples simply added.
    Region            - The size of the blend region, in    /blendregion
			either seconds, samples or frames
			(set in "Units" in the Common page).
    Bias              - The bias of the blend. -1 biases        /bias
			the blend toward the beginning, 0 is
			no bias and +1 biases towards the end.
    Step              - If set to 1, the next cycle will be     /step
			shifted in value up or down so that it
			begins where the last cycle ended.
			Suitable for root object of walk cycles.
    Step Scope        - The names of those channels that
			will be affected by the Step parameter.
