Remote Control

Overview

Fantasynth includes a remote control system that lets you control the visuals from a separate device. A phone, tablet, or another computer on the same network.

How it works

The main Fantasynth instance runs the visuals. A second device opens the remote control interface, which sends commands over a WebSocket connection. The remote mirrors the clip grid and fader controls.

Setting up

1. Open Fantasynth on your main display
2. Open the remote control URL on your second device
3. Both devices connect to the same session automatically

What you can control

From the remote, you can:

• Trigger clips across all layers
• Adjust track faders
• Switch between patches (preset states)
• Control transport (play/pause, BPM)

Use cases

• Live performance: run visuals on a projector, control from a phone in your hand
• Collaboration: one person controls the music, another controls the visuals
• Installation: set up a display and control it remotely without physical controls attached
