MIDIART Live is the first computer software application designed specifically to transform both live and pre-recorded MIDI data streams into psychedelic computer graphic imagery. The images generated by MIDIART are derived directly from the musical information embedded within the MIDI data stream. This gives the performing musician the ability to visualize the music they are performing in real time. With MIDIART Live, music can now be visualized directly using MIDI and a computer, without the need for expensive multimedia producers, graphic artists, and animators. MIDIART Live also takes advantage of the control information that can be embedded in the MIDI data stream, to give the performing musician or video artist interactive control over the graphic parameters used by the image generating algorithms in MIDIART.
