Help needed! I'm trying to create a synth that changes value according to mouse position (screen shot attached)

Hi all, in the following patch it possible to connect the mouse positioning in the tut02 box (which is rendering visuals using jitter) to change the values of the cycle and saw waves I have set up? basically trying to get the mouse positioning to trigger the audio and visuals at the same time.

did you try the object [mousestate] ?

You can use [route mouseidle] and then slice the first 2 values (x/y position). Devide by the screensize to get normalized values (0-1) and use that to scale towards the frequencies you would like:
