Abstract
A method for creating a customized music visualization display for a music input involves presenting a user with a plurality of effects icons and a visualizer canvas as a portion of the user interface display. A user places one or more of the visual effects icons on the visualizer canvas. A sweep arm travels in a continuous sweeping motion through an arc and at a speed determined by a musical input and where each effect icon is detected and the effect is displayed when the sweep arm impacts the location of the video effect icon within the visualizer canvas.
