'pi' means that you are using a Raspberry Pi as a standalone unit to process
audio input and control the LED strip directly.
'blinkstick' means that a BlinkstickPro is connected to this PC which will be used
to control the leds connected to it.
'stripless' means that the program will run without sending data to a strip.
Useful for development etc, but doesn't look half as good ;)

FPS indicates the desired refresh rate, or frames-per-second, of the audio

up with desired FPS value.
Higher framerates improve "responsiveness" and reduce the latency of the
visualization but are more computationally expensive.
Low framerates are less computationally expensive, but the visualization may
appear "sluggish" or out of sync with the audio being played if it is too low.
The FPS should not exceed the maximum refresh rate of the LED strip, which
depends on how long the LED strip is.

A small number of bins reduces the frequency resolution of the visualization

number of bins. More bins is not always better!
