💡 Tips & Best Practices

Camera Setup

• Lighting matters - Ensure your hands are well-lit for best tracking
• Camera angle - Position camera to capture your hands clearly
• Background - Avoid cluttered backgrounds for better detection

Control Zones

• Red dots show the tracked hand positions used for MIDI
• These control points are always visible and drive the MIDI output

Workflow Tips

• Solo mode - Use solo buttons to focus on one parameter at a time
• Mute - Temporarily disable a parameter without losing its mapping
• No Processing Mode - Stops MIDI output (useful during setup)
• Settings - Click the Settings button for visualization options
