Theory
To connect sound and visuals, you need a transport layer.
In this project, the most useful options are:
- MIDI
- OSC
- direct parameter mapping inside one environment
Why It Matters
Without a clear transport model, the audiovisual side becomes improvised and fragile.
Practical Use
- MIDI is useful for discrete events and performance gestures
- OSC is useful for richer and more continuous data
Practice
Write a mini mapping table with three signals:
- source signal
- destination parameter
- update behavior
