What a great find. The HT2040A IS a disco light. (they might think it is for Christmas lights, but we know better.) All in one part.


Side Notes:
One of the interesting things, about the artistic mode of visual music, is sloppier is better!

Normally, the goal is to sharpen filters. Make the "cut-off", at band edges, as sharp as possible, without causing "ringing" or other ill effects. However, with "music changed into light", it is better to have overlapping filters, to cause a blending of the lights. Much more interesting patterns, come about, when the band edges overlap.

Very simple L-C or even R-C passive filters are not only adequate, but even desirable

"A Project Too Far."
What might be interesting:
Have mirrors mounted on some type of PIC controllable devices. This could be stepper motors, syncros, voice coils, linear motors etc..
The front panel could be some type of translucent, diffusing rear projection screen. Maybe, something as simple as a "suspended ceiling" florescent light diffusion lens.
The light would be modulated as in a standard colour (color) organ.
But, the mechanical device would move the modulated colours around by volume (loudness). Who knows, maybe higher on the panel could represent louder musical notes.
It seems like this might add a third dimension to the mix. ?
