Key bindings in the visualisation window

Left arrow key

- increase the frequency with which the visualisation is updated relative to ticks of the synthesis engine. This causes the visual animation to become slower but smoother. If updating is already occurring on every tick of the synthesis engine then an additional press of this key pauses the whole synthesis engine until the right arrow key is pressed.

Right arrow key

- decrease the frequency with which the visualisation is updated relative to ticks of the synthesis engine. This causes the visual animation to become faster but less smooth as more computational resources are given over to the synthesis engine itself. This key also takes the synthesis engine out of pause mode if it has been paused.

Up arrow key

- increase the amplitude of the waves depicted in the visualisation.

Down arrow key

- decrease the amplitude of the waves depicted in the visualisation.

I key

- toggle display of instrument names. This can be useful if the visualisation becomes too cluttered with information.

D key

- toggle display of device names.

ESC key

- exit the synthesis, closing the visualisation window.
