This unique sound visualizer uses a grid of rods arranged in a semi-circle to respond to an audio output and uses Fast Fourier Transformations/AI to implement different modes of operation. For general music, rods furthest on the right will be actuated in response to higher frequencies, with the extent of actuation determined by the amplitude of those frequencies. A special "orchestral" setting may be applied and that separates the grid in to sections of an orchestra, allowing one to visualize the extent of playing from each orchestral section. This presentation aims to link visual and auditory senses to one cohesive experience.
