New page

==Introduction==
Some songs in your display may be enhanced by a digital VUmeter (Volume Unit meter) display. The display adds nice visual activity to your display and can be synced to music or speaking parts.

You can make the VUmeter as large as you like, have as many segments as you like, use different colors for different volume levels, and arrange in either a vertical or horizontal format.

You could also arrange the segments of your VUmeter in a semicircle, such that when the segments light in sequence they give a rotational effect, mimicking the needle of an old-fashioned mechanical VUmeter.
