Abstract
In a system for animating an object along a music, a sequencer module sequentially provides music control information and a synchronization signal in correspondence with the music to be played. A parameter setting module is operable to set motion parameters effective to determine movements of movable parts of the object. An audio module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a sound in accordance with the music control information to thereby play the music. A video module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a motion image of the object in matching with progression of the music. The video module utilizes the motion parameters to basically control the motion image, and utilizes the music control information to further control the motion image in association with the played music.
