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.

|---|---|---|
| Strength | Effect | Sets the visible strength of strength. |

Tips for a better audio visualization
- Keep the words readable first, then apply bass to scale or movement and highs to edge effects.
- Try assigning Bass to Strength, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
