Value nodes have multiple purposes:

• You can introduce a new value to the graph by creating a Value node of a specific type, and then setting its value in the node parameter window (select the Value node and press P to display the node parameter window).

• When the parm input port is connected, the Value node creates a copy of the incoming data. This copy can be used to prevent race conditions when multiple nodes attempt to modify the same value “in place”, that is, without making a copy of the value (in-place ports are indicated by square port shapes). Value nodes can be used to create multiple copies of a value, which when piped into an in-place port, allows the node with the in-place port to have its own copy of the value to modify.

See APEX graph basics for more information about Value nodes and in-place ports.
