Back in my day we called them visualizers
- capableweb 4y agoI'm guessing they don't call it just that because of the modular nature of a programming language and because it depends on the user configuring it, rather than just hitting "Play".
- ihatepython 4y agoIs this much different than Winamp's Advanced Visualization Studio? That was also 'programmable', depending on how you define programmable I suppose
- capableweb 4y agoI'm not super familiar with Advanced Visualization Studio but as far as I can tell, it wasn't geared toward live programming in a performance setting nor was able to work with general libraries as it was it's own language, not using a general one.
- bodge5000 4y agoI think they're a bit different, a visualizers uses incoming audio to create visuals, a video-synth can do that but it can also do much more, without the involvement of sound in any way.
