I felt inspired by animusic animations and decided to try to do it myself.

I made the song only using the default plugins from LMMS. I transformed it to MIDI using this converter.

I then converted MIDI to a JSON that contains only what I need using a program in my Github repo (see below). And I import this generated JSON into blender animations using an extension (same Github repo).

Once I have the animations, I used drivers to get the animated values inside geometry nodes to launch and simulate the balls, vibrate the xylophone/marimba, oscillate bass strings and scale trumpets. The hi-hat, snare, drumstick and trombone were animated through drivers in properties GUI.

Rendered with cycles, all materials are the default material, I just changed color, metallic and roughness values, as I decided I didn’t want to spend more time into this.
