Realtime musical outputs
AudioSlice splits a live mix into eight sources and streams a dedicated set of normalized (ie: [0, 1]) OSC control signals for each one, refreshed end-to-end in 11 ms.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drums & percussion | |||||
| Kick | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Snare | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Hi-hat | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |

| Melodic everything else | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No |
- Loudness
- A smooth, normalized level for that source alone. Drive brightness, scale, opacity.
- Onsets
- A discrete trigger the instant a hit lands. Fire strobes and cuts on the transient.
- Pan
- Where the source sits in the stereo field. Move visuals left and right with the mix.
- Spread
- How wide the source is imaged. Map stereo width to blur, dispersion or field of view.
- Pitch
- Continuous fundamental frequency. Drive hue, position or geometry from the note.

This thing is ******* wild. Works with almost any song, and every drum hit.
