This overview and review of a semester project on the development and completion of a Music Visualization Program utilizing Processing software. The system consists of 3 modules: Interface, Sound Analysis and Playback, and Visualization. The program reads music files, controls audio playback and analysis, and outputs music through sound cards and visuals through video cards. Learnings, next steps, and prototype link provided.

Review • Music Visualization Program • Processing • 3 Modules • Interface • Sound Analysis and Playback • Visualization
Interface Acts as input to sound module for user controls Function calls Input Music file(s) read in from a default directory Sound Module Control audio playback and analysis Output Music is output from program through sound card to speakers Wav or MP3 Digital Signal Global Variables Visualization Module Graphics are generated based on input Output Graphics are output from program through video card to display Digital Signal System Model
Done This Semester • Interface (mostly) • Sound Module • Research, Research, Research! • Processing Forums • Get Filename?
Completed • The Interface, mostly • Functionality is there • Framework is there • Other buttons will depend on final product • Sound Module • Sound starts and stops due to interface • Variables will have to wait until Graphics Module
Learned • Processing Syntax • Ess Syntax • Forum Support!
Next • Graphics Module • Spectrum Analysis • Integration with Interface and Sound Module • Interesting and Pleasing Aesthetic
Testing - Current • Trying to break the interface • Loading different songs • Verify • 2:52 limit
Testing - Future • Focus on Graphics Module • Others should be thoroughly tested • Aesthetically pleasing? • Should be “awesome”
Prototype • Behold! • http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~xen08/senior%20project/Proto3/index.html
