Research and development · 2026 · Audio analysis tool · TouchDesigner, OSC
Aim. Give live visuals a trustworthy read of the music in real time, from a mic, a file or remote microphones, and drive anything that takes OSC.
What was made. An analysis core that turns audio into a stream of features: frequency bands, onsets, tempo, chroma and more. It runs inside TouchDesigner or on its own, and streams over OSC.
What we found. The first real test inside iMagFX showed the patch and the relay were using different names and a fixed tempo; once rewired, tempo tracked real music. Checks that only reported green missed faults twice, so the log at the receiving end became the test that counts. Heavy work on TouchDesigner's main thread stalls the patch.
Status. In use, still growing.
