Knob (freq) ─── Data ──→ Oscillator (frequency)
Toggle (on/off) ─ Data ──→ Gate (enable)
Keyboard ──── MIDI ──→ MIDI To CV ──→ Oscillator
XY Pad ────── Data ──→ Filter (cutoff + resonance)

Linked Widgets

Widgets can be linked in a master/slave relationship:one widget controls another, useful for creating complex control surfaces.
