What it reads

Frame-local Reads only the current frame, which makes it the cheapest kind to stack and safe to render into a Conjure window at any size.

Parameters

param	key	range	default
Amount	`amount`	0..1 (rendered to 2)	0.4
Band Size	`scale`	0.01..0.2	0.05

The renderer widens amount past its declared maximum by 2× before it reaches the shader, because most shader bodies were tuned against a muted top end. The rendered figure is the bound that actually arrives.

Defaults as a layer

{ "effectId": "signalDropout", "params": { "amount": 0.4, "scale": 0.05 } }

GLSL fragment shader

The effect's own code. The uniforms and helpers above it — uTex, uFeedback, the depth proxy, the frame ring, depthAt(), timeAt() — are the same header every Ether-MOSH shader opens with, and are documented once on the registry rather than reprinted on all 143 pages.

void main(){ vec4 c = texture2D(uTex, vUv); float band = floor(vUv.y / max(0.005, uScale)); float bandSeed = rand(vec2(band, floor(uTime * 3.0))); float dead = step(1.0 - uAmount * 0.6, bandSeed); float n = rand(vUv * vec2(400.0, 900.0) + uTime); vec3 noiseCol = vec3(n * 0.15 + 0.02); gl_FragColor = vec4(mix(c.rgb, noiseCol, dead), c.a); }
