To create an awesome audio visualizer, using a spectrum analyzer( C.A.V.A: Console-based Audio Visualizer for ALSA ), all you need is a Raspberry Pi 3 and a RGB LED cube - VoxCube!
CAVA was created by Karl Stavestrand and it is a great tool to create an audio visualizer in the console.

The above LED cube [VoxCube] is being controlled via a Raspberry Pi, using python and the official Raspberry Pi display.
Buttons were setup using the Kivy. Kivy is a Python library which makes creating buttons and events with a touchscreen very easy.
Here is a very good guide on how to get Kivy setup on a Raspberry Pi.

We have been busy over the last 6 months creating something special!
We have always liked the idea of LED cubes, however there was no easy way to drive these LED cubes with a Raspberry Pi.... until now.
VoxCube is an 8x8x8 RGB LED Cube which has been specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi, however it is also compatible with other microcontrollers. E.g. Arduino
Cubes can also be chained together, the image below is four VoxCubes being controller via a Raspberry Pi.
Head over to the Kickstarter page for more details.
