feedback is an extremely interactive audio visualization plugin for entheogen.
rather than letting the computer decide what you want your audio to look like, you
can take the controls yourself to create a near-infinite variety of beautiful effects.
to begin your journey into feedback, simply type 'k'. this will take you out of auto
mode and give you complete control over the plugin. typing 'm' will activate mouse
control.
although the controls are cumbersome, it is definitely worth it to experiment.
when you find a setting you like, typing shift-S will store that as a preset. to
switch between presets, use '.' ',' and '/'. if you do not like a certain preset, immediately
after switching to that preset simply type shift-D and it will be deleted permanently. these presests are a great place to start exploring the dynamics and behavior of feedback.
to get the best experience from feedback, i recommend using entheogen's plugin layering
feature to move it above the default plugin, because of key conflicts between the two.
tetra on top of feedback has been known to induce nirvana.
i will do my best to answer any questions you have regarding this plugin, feel free

controls
---------
, . :: last preset, next preset
; :: switches to a random preset
S :: saves current setting as new preset
D :: deletes current preset
only works if nothing has changed since setting that preset
8 2 :: 8 zooms in, 2 zooms out
4 6 :: rotation, left + right
7 9 :: move center x coordinate -- there's no easy way to explain
1 3 :: move center y coordinate -- just play with them and you'll see
0 :: set rotation to zero. if rotation = 0 then zoom is set to default level
5 :: set center to (0, 0)
= / :: decrease + increase sensitivity of rotation,zoom,and center controls
+ - :: cycles forward/backward through palette
[ ] :: scale oscilloscope data down/up respectively
{ } :: change blending opacity
i o :: i toggles squares, o toggles oscillo
p u :: p toggles polar oscillo, u toggles polar oscillo circles
k :: toggles user/auto control
m :: toggles mouse control

b :: toggles blur mode /
v :: clears screen
