• listening to more than one MIDI channel at once
  • visualizing more than one instrument at the same time
  • animate/visualize more than three simultaneously played notes
  • possibility to play and analyze MIDI or other audio files
  • more instruments and better animations
  • Blending multiple animated images on top of each other: Very difficult to achieve, especially without massive performance lost
  • Debugging - lots of “little” glitches and problems proved more difficult to solve than anticipated (e.g. “disappering” animations, imperfect blending etc.

(No certain chronological or other order)

  • Recieving MIDI-Events and transferring them into useable information
  • Blending a single animated image onto the background image
  • Blending multiple animated images onto the background
  • Created different background images with highlight-effects etc
  • Colouring the animated “note”
  • Controlling the different animations through the MIDI-Events
