A controller window shows up, press mic and the parameter will now respond to the microphone.

I have tried every other visualiser on the iPad and apart from it's bigger brother I-beams this eats them all for breakfast. I have said it before but the author of this software is a real genius. - AAWh *****One of the best of it's type *****Its the best particle manipulator I've messed with.
