Timestretch Visualizer 1.0

¨

Timestretch Visualizer is a iTunes visual plug-in for MacOS X.  
It requires MacOS X 10.0 and up.  (Tested on 10.0.4 and 10.1)  A  fast G4 is recommended.  Reduce the window size for acceptable animation performance on slower machines.

History
Timestretch Visualizer is based on Juliamation, a BeOS screensaver that draws animated Julia sets.  I ported it back to MacOS as a MacAST (MacAMP) visual plug in, adding more fractals, color, and music synchronization.  I ported it to MacOS X when Apple released the iTunes visual plug-in API.  It is written in C++, and was compiled in Apple's new ProjectBuilder.

Installation
Quit iTunes.  Drag the Timestretch-Visualizer.bundle to ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/ where ~ is your home directory.  Launch iTunes and choose the TimestretchVisualizer option from the Visuals Menu.  Then click on the Visuals menu again and choose Turn Visuals On to start displaying the animation.  You can also toggle full screen mode and change the view size in the same menu.

Instructions
Press the "C" key to change the parameters and fractal formula.
