As excited as I am about this plugin (MIDI Visualizers are so hard to come by. I hella appreciate the work from the dev for building this!) , it unfortunately made my OBS unusable and my RAM usage went thru the roof while waiting for OBS to load! So I'll give this a 3 star-rating now, bc i can clearly see a UI and a bunch of cool options (side note: would be cool to include a chord analyzer like Chordie or floating note trails) so I have no reason to assume mal-intent. Overall, very excited for the potential of this idea and am looking forward to using it in the future!

Thank you, Dev.
