"Animusic" using OpenGL and MS Visual C++

Be sure to check out my iPad app that helps you learn how to play the guitar: http://www.guitarpracticepad.com/.

This is an example of computer animation synchronized to a MIDI file (sometimes called animusic). This was created using OpenGL and Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The idea, music and comptuer programming were all done entirely by me. The guitar hand was created to play any MIDI file.

(Uploading the video to YouTube screwed up the synchronization between the audio and video. The original source video is fine.)

how do you get the midi in the program?

[mburolla]

@tremon12095 I wrote a MIDI parsing class that parsed the contents of my MIDI file into a usable data structure.

Isn't Animusic a company rather than just a combination between MIDI music and animation?

[mburolla]

Technically yes. But it sure helps me get more hits! :-)

That was nice man, how did you get C++ to get input from a MIDI file?

[mburolla]

It wasn't done in real time. I created the melody on my keyboard using Cubase, then I simply saved the MIDI file to the file system. My program parsed the MIDI file and created a structure of notes that the hand knew how to play.

You should have had it playing crazy train

Damn thats some badass sounding guitar for midi. Is that a sound font or something ?

Looks like an early 80´s music clip...

@mburolla and don't forget that animusic is just animation and music put together, so technically your not lying about this being animusic
