Small amounts of current are run through the mushrooms to measure the electrical resistance similar to a lie detector test. Changes in resistance are converted to control voltages and gate signals which are used to control the synthesizer. The mushrooms have control over when the notes are played, how long they are played, what pitch they are, some control over timbre aka how the sound sounds and harmonic content as wel
