Audio modulation
On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.
| Modulated control | Section | What the route changes |
|---|---|---|
| Hue Speed | Colors | Sets how quickly hue changes or moves. |
| Spectrum Hue Speed | Audio | Sets how quickly spectrum hue changes or moves. |

Tips for a better audio visualization
- Keep the clock face readable; route audio to the surrounding material, particles, or glow rather than every time element.
- Try assigning Bass to Hue Speed, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
