Starting my jukebox...
I would like to add a spectrum analyzer (a graph of lights that show the volume of each frequency) as a light show on the front...
I've searched everywhere and, except for a tee shirt, I can't find too much info on this...
It needs to be about 15" wide and 20" tall, made with green, yellow and red LED's...
I saw the KeyWiz controller option, would this drive different frequencies or just random lights?
Just looking for ideas, thanks...

I will be looking at the frequency driven stuff shortly. I have a start on it, but nothing is functional quite yet (I've only spent a few days on the software so far)
The LED-Wiz is currently using a couple of proprietary algorithms to get the animation and is not at all at random. It's not the easiest thing to see in such a short clip, but when people start using the software I am working on, it will be a lot clearer ;)

Kit is avalable as a start. Just build the LED displays in a larger size. Probably need a few drivers (easy circuit).

Two other possibilties depending on your skills.
This one is at AVRFreaks, I don't know if you need to register with them to see it.

This may work for you as well.
