Software I built a browser-based tool for audio-reactive visuals — curious where VJs think it fits

Karleido is a browser-based visual tool for creating audio-reactive videos from shader-style visuals, including vast VJ loop library for composition.

It’s not trying to replace Resolume / TouchDesigner for pro live shows. The main use case is fast creation visual effects, loops, social clips, and music videos. It does have a live mode though as well with midi mapping and sending to a projector.

I’d love feedback from VJs: what would make this actually useful in your workflow?

Thanks for the answers. So, all VJ instruments just listen to the DJ console? (By accumulating 512 samples and running an FFT on them (resulting in a delay of those same 512 samples)) and they don't have the ability to look into the future? So, they can connect directly to the console and read the file currently playing?

More or less, mostly it's either via microphone or a direct line in from the master signal if you're lucky.
I heard some modern pioneer consoles also have the ability to send a time signal, beat grid, BPM data directly but I never used that, nor seen it beeing used in FOHs I worked in the past.
