External Fountain Plug-In

[Natron]

For anyone who is willing to help-

I'm trying to make a fountain that goes along with music, one like the fountain at the Belagio Hotel in Vegas but on a much smaller scale (5'x2') and that is not pre-programmed to follow only a few songs.

What I'd like to do is use winamp output different ranges of frequencies, just like from the equalizer, to individual transducing valves. For example, frequencies between 0-60 Hz will output a variable voltage which will depend on the song itself, and this voltage will be dedicated to one valve. Ranges 61-170 to another valve, and so forth. I'm a student studying mechanical engineering so I'm not too worried about the mechanical hardware, such as valves and compressors, but I don't know too much about computer programming or hardware to do this. I know basic IF, THEN statements, and it seems like that's all I'll need.

I read that some one was able to make a little light show that went along with music using their comport, a serial cable, and some LED's. I'd like to do the same but with valves.

I would appreciate any help, information, advice, programs, leads, anything! Please let me know if you think this is possible.

can't you get one of those lights ones, but instead of using LED's, attach them to relays, which trigger the pump circuits?

Yeah I second that. USe the LED/ COM output plugin and hook it up to pumps etc.
