In a system for animating an object along a music, a sequencer module sequentially
provides music control information and a synchronization signal in correspondence
with the music to be played. A parameter setting module is operable to set motion
parameters effective to determine movements of movable parts of the object. An
audio module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a sound
in accordance with the music control information to thereby play the music. A video
module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a motion image
of the object in matching with progression of the music. The video module utilizes
the motion parameters to basically control the motion image, and utilizes the music
control information to further control the motion image in association with the
played music.
