I have been thinking about building a visualiser since 2003 (when I saw one on www.2advanced.com) and have finally found the time to look into AS3′s computeSpectrum as well as Richard Lords’ FLiNT Particle System and came up with this example which uses Jamie T’s – The Man’s Machine (which you can buy here).

All in all it’s quite simple really, basically just an enter frame that runs the computeSpectrum() and then you use the data from that to effect the particles. I’ve attached my flash develop project and the source code below if your intrested in having a dig about, it could be useful if your interested in how to setup the computeSpectrum() or the FLiNT particle system.
