Connection Rules

These rules define what handles can be connected together.

Basic Rules

• You can connect multiple outlets to a single inlet and vice-versa
• Video outlets (orange) can only connect to video inlets
• Message outlets (gray) can only connect to message inlets
• Audio outlets (blue) can connect to audio inlets
• Analysis outlets (purple) from fft~ output can connect to message and video inlets

Audio Parameter Modulation

Audio outlets can connect to audio parameter inlets for parameter modulation:

• osc~'s frequency and gain~'s gain are both audio param inlets
• Message and audio outlets (like osc~ out and gain~ out) can connect to audio param inlets
• If you start dragging from an audio outlet (blue), the audio param inlets will turn from grey to blue to indicate they're connectable
