Abstract
A device is for the display of still animation images in sequence on a display in time with the reproduction of music by a digital sound source driven by MIDI signals. The device reads a series of specified or optional animation images from an image database, which holds many animation images, and transmits them in accordance with tempo data which forms part of the MIDI data. The device also uses pitch data to determine the color of the animation images to be displayed. The device composes the still images and the specified colors and displays them on a visual display medium.
