tilt moves the pen — vertical position picks a violin note (pentatonic, snapped). sound input sets brush size and bow pressure (volume + brightness). camera sets ink color and the violin's tone (warm hues = darker, cool = brighter). connection speed tints the background and sets reverb size — slow & cavernous, fast & dry. Touch the canvas to override the pen.
