Options panel

Options: Shows/hides the options box. When visible, each active effect has a collapsible section with its controls (sliders, colors, etc.). File inputs appear as trigger buttons.

Bottom panel

Audio (left): Kick detection tuning. Bass | Mid | High bars show frequency levels. Green line = min level; bass must be above it. Rise strip = bass jump; orange line = min rise. Kick triggers when both thresholds pass. Sliders: Min level (filter noise), Min rise (sensitivity to jumps), Hold time (how long kick stays on).

Automix (right) — BETA: Checkbox to enable. Multi-select lists define which visualizers and post-processors automix can turn on/off. On each kick (with cooldown), it makes incremental changes: randomly toggles some effects and randomizes their options.
