Project Notes:Chopin Prelude No. 4

I was working on a Beethoven video when I stumbled upon the Zgame Editor Visualizer (say that three times fast).  This is a plugin that produces a video based on audio output, midi, or both.  It is still very new and has the feel of a beta program.  However it has quite a lot of potential.  As of now there are no presets to interpret Midi data that come with the program.  Also according to the Zgame people it does not have Midi look ahead, so you will not see a scrolling score like the MAM.  Basically this is like the visualizer that comes with WMP or itunes but much more powerful.  You can make your own preset, but that requires programming skills (of which I have none).  I found this particular preset on the Fl forums.  It was created by user StephenM, so many thanks to him.  I saw a video of this preset and immediately thought Chopin for some reason.  The best thing about ZGEV is that it renders video, so I don't have to resort to a third party desktop recorder.  This means much higher quality videos in theory.  Also you can use this plugin by downloading the demo version of FL studio to try it out.  You cannot save projects, but you can output files.

What needs to be said about this particular prelude?  It is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for piano.
