The Amplitude Xtra 2.0 allows Macromedia Director™ movies to respond in real time to the amplitude data derived from sound cast members. The xtra sends a continuous stream of amplitude values to Director while a sound is playing. This means that, amongst other things, you can,

• control sprite animations and properties by synchronizing them to sound
• draw sound waveforms using normal Director sprites in real time at any resolution
• achieve basic lip-sync between animated characters and spoken dialogue
• change inks and blend properties in time with sound and music
• change sprite colors based on amplitude intensity
