🔍 Known Issues

• Clearing browser cache deletes presets – don’t forget to export them!
• Occasionally a sphere disappears or freezes when switching presets – try reloading the browser.
• On Windows, two command line windows open when launching via run.bat. (Functionality is fine though.)

---

🛠️ Optimization Ideas

• Current smooth limit: ~30,000 particles. Can we go further?
• More precise frequency analysis.
• Better separation of instruments using timbre or spectral features.

---

🎨 Creative Suggestions

• Add a moving camera to deepen immersion.
• Let spheres float freely – detached from the center.
• Try alternative shapes: rings, ellipsoids, toruses.
• Sync noise animation to tempo for more flow.
• Assign more particles to low frequencies (logarithmic mapping).
