!(To open Wisp, you need to install TouchDesigner. Accounts and the app are free, and the minimal installation works fine https://derivative.ca/download)!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


###Starting out:
 - To open, extract the .zip file you downloaded if you have not already, & double click the Wisp file. (TouchDesigner required)
 * Instructions to install TouchDesigner at the BOTTOM
 * Ensure all of the other files that came in the .zip download are extracted into the same folder together, as they're part of the functionality. (audio1.tox does audio analysis on another process to help reduce frame render times)
 * You can extract the downloaded .zip and run the app from anywhere as long as their contents are together. ( c: I run it from a folder on my desktop )


###How to make the app detect your desktop sounds:
 - Voicemeeter ( https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm ) - Free (dismissable popups after 30d) | More Flexible / User Friendly
 - Virtual Audio Cable ( https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm ) - Free (no pop ups) | No UI / Obtuse
 * How to set up Voicemeeter and correctly route audio ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXKDzYXS60o )
 * I do recommend donating the minimal amount to remove voicemeeter popups as it's very powerful and useful software that's long established as reliable. There may be alternatives but I prefer VB-A's software.
 * Any other audio solution that allows you to capture your primary [Sound Output] and route it into a [Sound Input] Device will also work


###Extra Stuff
* If you press Esc, you'll be thrown into TouchDesigner's Node Editor
* Press F1 to go back into App mode like when you first open the app
* Press F2 for an in-depth frame time analyizer. Pressing the Analyze button will show the total frame time in the bottom right, and the time used by each operation in the project
* Using the "X" (close) button in the top right saves your preferences and vizualizer settings to the same folder you opened the app from
