<br>Subject: Re: [sdiy] Visual Music Devices (advanced color organs)<br>To: karl dalen <<a href="mailto:dalenkarl@yahoo.se">dalenkarl@yahoo.se</a>><br><br></span>I made a MIDI-controlled "color organ" in 1995.... I used Opcode MAX to
translate MIDI note data into DMX intelligent-lighting control language
to instruct a Martin Roboscan light. The light was capable of
multi-axis movement and near-limitless subtractive color mixing using
multiple dichroic filters. As you went up the scale on the
keyboard, the light traced out a conical helix shape, changing colors
as it went. I used Scriabin's note-to-color specifications but
others could be used also. It was a lot of fun! I was
workin as an intern for a mad engineer who wanted to put on
synaesthesia multimedia performances for healing purposes... I don't
know if he ever used my device though.<br><span class="sg">
