A fountain has always represents loveliness of creativity and entertains public of all ages. We are enthralled by fountains from the very beginning, but in this modern the combination of fountains with light and sound, has given it a new dimension altogether. But there is the brief and elaborate theory that works behind this great invention. The amusement presented through a musical fountain is sufficient to be too intense our practical thoughts as it amuse us with its creative feature enlighten through technical innovations.

Now thought about the technical aspects of the creative invention and try to understand its basic requirements and working principle to precede its principle. A simple musical fountain may change to series of highlighted lights of various colors. Actually when a newer model of a musical fountain uses a program controlled logic manager, then it used to toggle the mixture or combination of systems. As we know a musical fountain dances in the tune of its music, that is why it needs choreography of different music and the fountain resources. This requires the proper maintained skillful performances of the combination of computer software program and the hardware for control purpose as there the software maintain the systematic performances regarding the fountain’s flow or dance according to the musical beat with determining the duration and flow also.


Animation Control and Choreography System Software is made only for fountains and it is a window based program. It is used in the modern and advance musical fountains. This software is used in all latest fountains and it is designed with a vast experience of twenty years. Both manual and automatic control is provided by the software along with the adjustment of lights and valves.

A fountain contains certain fixed costs of pool, pump, manifold, it contains some variable cost as well (number of nozzles, valves, colored lights, electrical connections). The cost for controls is somewhat elastic. In addition to this there are various ways to perform device control. The lights can be switched or faded. Valves can also be switched or faded. Variable speed pump provides a desirable alternative in most system. In many cases the pump and nozzle combination can be simply set into the pool, eliminating almost all plumbing. So the cost of a fountain somewhat depends upon the mechanism that it works upon.

Now comes the interesting part, that is the choreography, the basics are to sit with a pen and a paper, listen to the audio several times to get the fill, specially the major highs and lows. Make notes on the effects that can be implemented on those highs and lows. Finally enter the notes and cues and examine the draft, that will give you a fill, and you can work accordingly. The run and step buttons make life easy on longer sections. The run button will instantly ‘sync’ the audio and fountain to the time entry for the cue. So, one musical fountain manufacturer should keep all this details in mind.
