···258258259259**Test Results**: Basic API working, visualization shows 10 octaves with test data mapping
260260261261-#### Phase 2: Real CQT Processing (DEBUGGING)
261261+#### Phase 2: Real CQT Processing (COMPLETE)
2622621. ✓ **Access raw audio buffer** from FFT capture system
2632632. ✓ **Implement 4096-point FFT** for CQT (separate from main FFT)
2642643. ✓ **Apply CQT kernels** to FFT output
2652654. ✓ **Fix kernel initialization** - kernels are properly generated on startup
266266-5. **Add remaining API functions**: `cqts()`, `cqto()`, `cqtos()` (TODO)
267267-6. **Create comparison demo** showing FFT vs CQT side-by-side (TODO)
266266+5. ✓ **Debug and fix frequency mapping** - CQT now correctly detects frequencies
267267+6. **Add remaining API functions**: `cqts()`, `cqto()`, `cqtos()` (TODO)
268268+7. **Create comparison demo** showing FFT vs CQT side-by-side (TODO)
268269269270**TEMPORARY CHANGE**: FFT_SIZE has been changed from 1024 to 2048 in fftdata.h to support CQT's 4096-point FFT requirement. This temporarily breaks FFT resolution (now 2048 bins instead of 1024) but allows CQT to function properly. This should be reverted once a separate audio buffer is implemented for CQT.
270271···363364- NO scaling factor after FFT
364365- Proper phase calculation: `2π * (f/fs) * (idx - N/2)`
365366366366-#### Phase 3: Optimization (If needed)
367367-1. Profile and identify bottlenecks
368368-2. Implement sparse kernel optimizations
369369-3. Consider frame-skipping for lower-end hardware
367367+**Final Status**:
368368+- CQT correctly detects frequencies (440 Hz → bin 54)
369369+- Good frequency selectivity (minimal spreading)
370370+- Kernels properly bandpass filtered
371371+- 20 Hz start preserved for electronic music sub-bass
372372+- Created test_cqt_spectrum_v2.lua with correct note display
373373+374374+#### Phase 3: Next Steps
375375+1. Add remaining API functions: `cqts()`, `cqto()`, `cqtos()`
376376+2. Create separate audio buffer for CQT (restore FFT_SIZE to 1024)
377377+3. Create FFT vs CQT comparison demo
378378+4. Performance optimization if needed
