# plotOptions.geoheatmap.sonification.defaultInstrumentOptions.mapping

Mapping options for the audio parameters.

All parameters can be either:

- A string, referencing a point property to map to.
- A number, setting the value of the audio parameter directly.
- A callback function, returning the value programmatically.
- An object defining detailed configuration of the mapping.

If a function is used, it should return the desired value for the audio parameter. The function is called for each audio event to be played, and receives a context object parameter with `time`, and potentially `point` and `value` depending on the track. `point` is available if the audio event is related to a data point, and `value` is available if the track is used for a context track using `valueInterval`.
