Right now I am working on a project which uses WiiMotes as MIDI controllers and input devices for Pd. That section of the project is working well, but I would like to add a video aspect to the audio element I already have completed. I was wondering where I should start in an attempt to make a 'visualizer' of sorts that runs off of either audio output from Ableton or microphone input (basically anything that would translate the audio I am making into an image).

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

come up with some frequency analysis patches. if you're just DJing that's pretty much all you can do, BUT if you're sequencing your own tracks out with midi channels you can send the midi over to Pd and get some serious realtime sync.

Are there any examples of frequency analysis patches I can find somewhere?

Ah, thank you so much!
