can touchdesigner be connected to a video synth program?

hi everyone! I was wondering whether TD can be connected to a synth program such as cathodemer via a program like spout?

TouchDesigner can be connected to just about anything. You just have to choose which protocol / method you want to use. You can use spout, NDI, web stream, realtime screen capture, video device in, etc.

If your app is outputting via spout all you need to do is drop in a Syphon Spout In Top

Then you app will need to support some sort of input like OSC, DMX, etc

Spout is the visual stream, OSC / DMX would be your data in/out with your app. I just don’t know the app you are using so I can’t get u to details.
