BeatScope measures a song — beats, transients with band energies, tempo changes, bars, cues, structure — and exports a portable timing package: deterministic runtime, self-check probe, hash-verified files. No audio, no visual style, no task statement, so the picture stays the consumer's decision. Beathi, the same app, turns those measurements into a music video on your machine. Same seed, same film, every time. Windows build, pip wheel, MIT.

Could you build this?

Partial The wrapper and visualizer can be vibe-coded, but building deterministic, local DSP-based music analysis (precise transient detection, multi-band energy extraction, bar/beat tracking) without relying on heavy external cloud models demands non-trivial audio signal processing expertise.

What it would actually take: Building BeatScope requires a WebAssembly or native C++/Rust DSP pipeline implementing onset detection functions, FFT/spectral flux analysis, phase-vocoders, and tempo extraction algorithms (e.g., dynamic programming beat tracking like Ellis or Essentia). The pipeline must export deterministic JSON timing manifests with cryptographic hashes to ensure client-side reproducibility. The difficult part is tuning the spectral signal processing to reliably catch syncopations, variable tempos, and transient cues across various genres entirely offline.
