Razer Chroma Music Visualization

 
 

I've always been interested in music + technology...

I got a Razer Chroma for my birthday but felt limited by the default color schemes. Thankfully, Razer provides a C++ SDK and I decided to have some fun with it. I wanted to do something music-related, but I knew I would never be able to design complicated light shows in code- I needed something to do the heavy lifting. Enter Ableton, my trusted DAW. I wrote a VST plugin that maps MIDI notes to keyboard keys. Through trial and error, I designed colorful visualizations for some of my favorite songs. Ultimately I had a blast and ended up with some pretty neat designs.
