# Properties Menu

It’s easy to adjust the properties of any node directly.

Right-click a node (not a connection) to open its Properties Menu. From there, you can tweak all of its properties. Here are a few common controls that a node's Properties Menu may include:

* **Sliders for numeric properties**\
  Vertical sliders for values like `radius`, `x`, `y`, `scale`, `decay`, etc\
  Click the number to type an exact value, use the mouse wheel or trackpad to fine‑tune.\
  *Note: Slider ranges are fixed, but the value box accepts any number — no hard limits.*
* **Toggle switches for boolean properties**\
  Simple on/off switches for properties like `front` of [Trail effect](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/effects/trail.md) or `transmitRot` of [Point](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/streams/point.md)\
  Click to toggle them instantly.
* **Text menu for enumerated properties**\
  Dropdown-style lists for discrete choices, like `blendMode` of [Blend node](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/effects/blend.md).\
  The current value shows a checkmark; click another option to switch.
* **Audio frequency analyser** showing the currently selected frequency range of an [Audio node](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/streams/audio.md). 
* **MIDI CC sliders** that display the current values of the detected MIDI CC, with the ability to select the listening CC number of a [MIDI CC node](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/streams/midi-cc.md).

To quickly explore the Properties Menu of any node without adding it manually, open the [**Node Menus**](https://app.nodalin.xyz/project/212ed2d8-12ee-4aef-b19a-1f8c664265c3) example project. Then, right-click on any node you want to inspect!

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that some properties are intentionally hidden from a node’s Properties Menu for clarity — for example, a Source node’s `input` and `zindex` properties. These can be set by connecting other nodes to them.
