This is a music visualization program I made in Game Maker 8 using the Midi Notes and GM Bassmod extensions. It works with any MIDI or Bassmod-supported file. There are four effects: a rain-type effect, an expanding "beat" circle, a whirlwind-like effect, and an effect that looks like a vibrating band (all four are visible in the screenshot). When the program starts, choose a file and watch the effects. Press F6 to choose another file.
Note that for best results, you should edit any files you wish to view. In a MIDI file, the effect used depends on the channel number mod 5 (0 = rain, 1 = circle, 2 = whirlwind, 3 = band, 4 = nothing). Note that for MIDIs, only one effect can be created per step max; tracks that appear later in the file have higher precedence. Thus, you would probably want the melody to appear last, so its effect always appears. In Bassmod files, multiple notes can be shown at a time, and the effect depends on the instrument number mod 5; if you want more than one instrument with the same effect, there have to be five in between, so you have to include blank instrument tracks (not sure if that works).
Post here if you have any comments or questions.
