Tekh Tonic Manual
Bounce
Bounce is based on a physics simulation of balls bouncing around in the 3D space. The way the balls bounce off the walls and collide with one another in conjunction with the many physics settings allows you to explore interesting emergent patterns.
Controller settings
A list of the settings tht can be modified to change the behavior of the controller. These values get stored when you save a preset.
| Value name | Description |
| Gravity | Strength of the gravity on the balls |
| Drag | The amount the balls slow down over time |
| Bounciness | Determines how much the balls will bounce when they collide |
| Max ball count | Maximum amount of balls that can exist at a time |
| Ball collisions | Determines if balls will collide or pass through one another |
| Infinite Bounces | If set to true balls will bounce forever |
| Bounces | The number of bounces a ball can make before it disappears |
| Reset | Destroys all balls |
Note generation
The method by which this controller generates note output.
| Note | Velocity |
| On wall collision | Derived from wall collision velocity |
Output values
Listed below are all the values that output from this controller and their default values.

| Ball Spd | Speed of the last ball thrown | /tekhtonic/bounce/ball/speed [0-1] | Float | 14 |
| Ball X | X positions of the last thrown ball | /tekhtonic/bounce/ball/pos/x [0-1] | Float | 15 |
| Ball Y | Y positions of the last thrown ball | /tekhtonic/bounce/ball/pos/y [0-1] | Float | 16 |
| Ball Z | Z positions of the last thrown ball | /tekhtonic/bounce/ball/pos/z [0-1] | Float | 17 |
