Ethan, This may be slightly off topic and slightly on at the same time, but one which is nevertheless completely doable with MacPerl.
Why not have the music cue the lights? Build (copy/steal) a DSP routine and look for certain sequences of signals. When that signal is found by the DSP, have the lights kicked off then. If it's all midi, that's even better and would be a snap. I imagine with midi, you can trigger the lights by assigning a voice. Later, Bill (Sometimes I get to rambling.
