Cubism overview

Cubism is designed to be a simple, colorful, fun and (slightly) useful way to visualize the music in your iTunes library.

To Install:
  • Quit iTunes if it is running
  • Drag the Cubism icon to the folder labeled "Compositions" inside of the disk image (or copy it to ~/Library/Compositions)
To use Cubism:
  • Open iTunes
  • Start playing some music
  • In the menu bar go to View > Visualizer and choose Cubism from the menu of visualizers
  • Go to View > Turn On Visualizer
While using Cubism:
  • Press the "I" key to show track information
  • Press the "H" key to show help (admittedly not very exciting at the moment)
  • The colored cubes represent the sound levels with bass on the left and treble on the right
  • The small artwork cube visually displays the time remaining in the current track moving from left to right as the song progresses
  • The current track time is shown on the left
  • The time remaining in the current track is shown to the right

What’s new in version 1.2

Version 1.2:
  • Fixed issues that caused track information not to display when changing tracks
  • Moved display of help to the upper right corner
  • Added hours remaining
  • Currently iTunes ignores user input while the visualizer is displayed; therefore, the h and i keys do not work to display help and information. Track information still displays when a track is paused and while changing tracks.

Colorful, pulsating blocks.... pretty unsophisticated, gets old pretty quick. Of course, there's G-Force at $20 plus $15 annual update fee....now that one's incredibly interesting. But Cubism is a freebie, so I'll not complain too much. DiscoBrick at $10 isn't bad

Works flawlessly. This is an excellent visualizer. I like the way it changes colors depending on the beat and tempo of the song. Extremely hipnotic!

This visualizer is kind of neat, and adds a little bit of visual information about what's playing, to boot. Fun addition to my set of iTunes visualizers.
