Smooth vector animation to help describe an audio system. It starts with icons of a tree, a frog, an insect, and a bird, with sliding bars above them. Then it isolates the bird icon, and shows knobs beneath it labeled "Volume", "Highshelf", and "Spawn Rate". Lastly, those knobs are connected to a text box that switches between "Normal", "Sparse", and "Dense", and the knobs adjust to different values with each switch.
