🧠 CthulhuScope Control Reference

An interactive mytho-visualizer for EYESY
🎛 Knob Controls (0.0 → 1.0)
Knob 1: Movement Amplitude / Chaos Intensity

    Cthulhu – Controls sway and motion of tentacles. Higher = more dramatic, undulating movement.

    Nyarlathotep – Drives chaotic tendril distortion and overall pulsing distortion.

    Yog-Sothoth – Scales sphere radius and intensity of core eruptions.

Knob 2: Breathing Rate / Speed

    Cthulhu – Adjusts the speed of the character's rhythmic "breathing" pulse.

    Nyarlathotep – Alters pulsing randomness and chaotic morphing speed.

    Yog-Sothoth – Increases motion speed and spawn density of the spheres.

Knob 4: Color Dynamics

    Cthulhu – Shifts hue of breath particles and glowing eyes.

    Nyarlathotep – Alters hue of emitted chaos particles and aura.

    Yog-Sothoth – Influences color shifting and iridescence of the orb field.

🎧 Audio Reactivity

    Input: eyesy.audio_in (Left), eyesy.audio_in_r (Right)

    All three characters use stereo amplitude and difference to influence:

        Positional drift

        Pulsing scale

        Particle generation (bubbles, chaos shards, spheres)

        Visual complexity and saturation

🔊 Audio-Reactive Behavior by Character

    Cthulhu

        Left audio channel sways the body horizontally

        Boosts glow of eyes and tentacle tension

        Audio peaks emit bubbles

    Nyarlathotep

        Sound distorts shape and emits chaos particles

        Stereo difference opens its shifting maw

        More volume = more chaos

    Yog-Sothoth

        Drives movement speed and color of spheres

        Audio bursts cause new sphere formations

        Higher energy = more spatial dissonance

🎯 Trigger Button (eyesy.trig)

    True on button press or loud audio peak

    Triggers one-time special effects or transitions:

Trigger Events

    Cthulhu – Wakes the slumbering one: flashes eye, emits rapid bubbles, tentacle surge

    Nyarlathotep – Initiates chaos state: opens maw, spawns a burst of entropy

    Yog-Sothoth – Emits new orbital spheres in a reality-rending pulse

💡 Summary

    Knobs = shaping

    Audio = reactive vitality

    Trigger = mythic intervention
