Neon Contours

Traces the picture as nested neon filaments, so tone comes back as glowing rainbow contours.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

Bands: Contour rings packed into the tonal range. Low is a few broad contours, high is dense filigree.
Flow: How far the field is softened and stirred before contouring. Zero traces the picture literally; up high the contours meander off it into free-flowing filaments.
Shade: How far the picture own tone rides the filaments. At zero every stroke is the same flat neon; up high the frame light and shade come through them.
Tint: Rotates the whole rainbow around the wheel.
Cycle: Hue step per ring. Low spreads one rainbow over many rings, high gives every ring its own colour.
Glow: Light falling off the strokes. Hard left is a bare filament, up high each one blooms into the frame around it.
Direction: Which way the filaments meander.
Speed: Rate of the effect motion. Centre is the authored speed, hard left a tenth of it.
