ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention provides a music-controlled graphic interface for closely binding musical and graphical information. The invention comprises a digital instrument interface, a computer device for translating digital musical sequences into graphical display information, and one or more displays for presenting the graphical information. Digital musical information is used to access graphical information. The accessing of the graphical information can be accomplished using the digital musical information as an index to a stored look-up table of video/graphic data. Alternatively, the musical information can serve as an input into an algorithm to calculate the video data in real time. The invention can also proceed in the backwards direction. Changing graphical data can be used to access musical or other sound information, to create musical sounds that match closely a changing displayed image. The invention allows accurate and rapid synchronization of sound and image, especially in computer animation.
