Connecting Parameters by Pick Whipping
You can also use simple expressions to link two parameters together. By using simple expressions via pick whipping, values can be connected and combined visually without the need to publish a value first. The pick whip is a temporary line drawn from one parameter to another in order to create a link between the two.
1 Double-click the field of a parameter you want to pick whip to another parameter, type =, and then press the Return key.
2 When Pick Whip controls appear underneath the parameter, drag a “whip” from the Add button to the target parameter.
Now, adjusting the target parameter automatically adjusts the original parameter.
TIP: Disabling the Auto Control Close node’s General preference, and then selecting two nodes in the Node Editor will allow you to pick whip two parameters from different nodes.

Pick whipping one parameter to another
The Expression field can further be used to add mathematical formulas to the value received from the target parameter.
